See on Scoop.itM-learning, E-Learning, and Technical Communications

Technical communicators often see DITA as hard to understand or master. Both newbies and veterans can use this chart of DITA terms to make sense of DITA.

Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

Jacquie Samuels does an excellent job (as always) of translating common DITA terms  into plain language. This is a great go-to guide for those of us trying to still get a grasp of DITA lingo as we learn more about content strategy and reuse using DITA-friendly systems.
