Previously, a person who needed just one part of a large body of content written for multiple audiences, for example a lengthy product manual or other technical documentation needed to wade through the entire content just to get that one part they wanted. With DITA, an XML-based architecture for authoring, producing, and delivering technical information, this is no longer necessary. MarkLogic enables organizations using DITA to easily repurpose existing content and create new products targeted at very small groups and even individuals.

With the DITA standard, organizations who publish technical documentation, such as high tech manufacturers, can easily:

• Repurpose existing content to create specialized products designed for a specific audience
• Reuse and then customize content for a website, marketing materials, a training manual, or help system
• Reduce information redundancy

Technical writers for a manufacturing company of copy machines would need only to write a paragraph on how to troubleshoot and repair electronic hardware inside a copier once and reuse the information several places in an instruction manual, a help guide on the internet or in a training document.
