Statement of Purpose:
To develop a specification for a lightweight DITA architecture that can ease

provide:

• Easy out of the box authoring for common topic types
• Out of the box mappings and specifications for authoring these topic types
  in
  other formats, such as HTML5 or markdown
• Easy assembly of new specializations from existing section types
• Easy creation of new specializations by generation from a topic type
  designed
  for specifying specializations
  Deliverables:
• Analysis of lightweight DITA related personas, scenarios, and requirements
• Lightweight authoring profiles for topic, concept, task, reference,
  potentially others
• Lightweight specialization architecture
• Specialization authoring format
• Analysis of lightweight DITA implementation options in other formats,
  including HTML5 and markdown
• Implementations of lightweight DITA that allow for roundtripping with
  constrained versions of other formats
