DITA-SEMIA

DITA-SEMIA – DITA Semantic Information Architecture

DITA-SEMIA is a set of open-source tools that support information architects creating specialized, semantic DITA frameworks.

DITA-SEMIA’s plugins integrate well with the <oXygen/> XML editor and DITA-OT to support both authoring and publishing.

You can download and use all or individual parts of it for free according to the Apache License 2.0.


Are you using a specialized DITA framework for your documentation? SEMIA can help you and your authors with the following tasks:

The idea of DITA-SEMIA has originally been inspired by integrated development environments like Eclipse and MS Visual Studio: The strong support that these tools provide for writing source code should be available for writing software specification and documentation as well. That includes content completion, automatic validation with quick fixes, online help and refactoring tools.
However, the resulting features of DITA-SEMIA can be used for other document types not related to software as well.

Development Status

This project is no more under active development since the main distributor (Patrik Stellmann) left the company that originated this project and there is no successor. However, there is still a good chance to get some hints when you add an issue.
