The press release needs to go to Carol by next Tuesday. It also will
include quotations from sponsor companies, such as IXIASOFT,
Comtech, etc.
It probably should not be longer than two paragraphs.
Tom, I'll send you the draft press release off-list; it's currently
marked OASIS Confidential.
Best,
Kris

In
fact I would say that interoperability is far more germane
to the topic of specialization being emphasized here. If
reuse is also important to highlight in this blurb, I think
there needs to be some verbiage that calls attention to the
topic-based architecture and the conref/keyref capabilities.
This is perhaps less "unique" to DITA and I don't know the
overall gist of the PR, so I don't know if you want that or
not.

I
would add "and interoperation" to "the
ensuing reuse possibilities":
"the
ensuing reuse and interoperation possibilities"
Interoperation,
with or without reuse, is an important and
distinguishing feature of the DITA architecture.
Cheers,

How
about the following:
“DITA
is more than flexible, it’s specializable,” said Kristen
Eberlein, chair
of the OASIS DITA Technical Committee. “The standard is unique; it
enables practitioners to specialize from existing
elements in order to increase the semantic
granularity. For example, consider a very simple
document. A section element can be specialized to
represent more specific types of sections such as
“Introduction,” “Main point,” and “Conclusion”; this
enables more precise semantic searching and better
guidance for authors.”
“Done
correctly”, Eberlein continued, “Output processors always
will understand the specialization hierarchy – a section
is always a section, after all – and be able to apply
general processing transformations. This is unique to
DITA, and the ensuing reuse possibilities allow great
cost sharing and cost reductions.”

Carol
Geyer has sent me a draft press release. It includes
the following paragraph:
“DITA
is more than flexible, it’s specializable,” said
Kristen Eberlein, chair
of the OASIS DITA Technical Committee. “The standard allows
specific semantics to be introduced for specific
purposes without increasing the size of other XML
grammar files.” <PLEASE
EDIT LIBERALLY>
I think we can improve this. Thoughts?
