Modeling DITAworks focuses on modeling and defining custom DITA specializations. Comprehensive modeling features allow the definition of project-specific, DITA-based documentation models (DITA specializations). The solution is not limited to determining the information models, but also includes the rules for adapting them to individual needs. A visual editor helps you to solve most complex tasks of information modeling, import and export DITA specializations out of and into third party systems, create and edit templates for DITA maps and topics.
