Emne: Basic DITA question
downloaded and installed the DITA Toolkit and I'm trying to work through the exercises in the book "Introduction to DITA: A user Guide to the Darwin Information and Typing Architecture." (J Linton & K Bruski, 2006 ) I'm running into a conceptual difficulty.
Lesson one has me creating a concept topic. I am a little puzzled by how the validation process reads this header. That is, how does the following line get resolved:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA CONCEPT//EN" "concept.dtd">
What does "-//OASIS//DTD DITA CONCEPT//EN" mean?
I installed the DITA Toolkit last August (thanks again to Kylene Bruski), but there is no OASIS directory on my computer. I searched for dtds on my machine and found a bunch in directories located under C:\Ditaot and C:\ditaot_new.
I think my question boils down to "where" (or maybe "what") //OASIS// is. Is this a "place" that exists out on the internet somewhere and my browser will just find it when my machine tries to validate a document that uses this header? Or, is it that I need to rename the Ditaot directory to OASIS so that my machine will be able to find what it needs so that it can validate documents that use this header?
