DITA has now been adopted  by many global companies in Japan. DITA Consortium Japan was organized and founded at the end of 2008 and has been promoting this OASIS standard for almost seven years. Unlike US Silicon Valley companies, most DITA adopters  are global manufacturers selling hardware products worldwide. Now with the public release of DITA 1.3 standard and the new Lightweight DITA initiative, DITA’s topic-based component architecture and its topic-based information development skill are highly required and demanded by both in localization and technical communication service providers. In this session, we will introduce and also propose the processes executed by Japanese service providers adopting this new framework.

LocWorld is the leading conference for international business, translation, localization and global website management. Attendees are the people responsible for communicating across the boundaries of language and culture in the global marketplace. With a specific emphasis on global business, the conference provides an opportunity for the exchange of high-value information in the language and translation services and technologies market.
