Title: DocBook Version 5.1
Committee Specification URI:

Certification by the TC that all schema and XML instances are well-formed and
that expressions are valid: We so certify
Clear English-language summary of the specification:
DocBook is a general purpose [ XML ] schema particularly well suited to books
and papers about computer
hardware and software (though it is by no means limited to these
applications).
The Version 5.1 release introduces assemblies for topic-oriented authoring.
It
also addresses a selection of
bugs and feature requests.
The Technical Committee provides the DocBook 5.1 schema in other schema
languages, including W3C
XML Schema and an XML DTD, but the RELAX NG Schema is the normative schema.
Relationship of this specification to similar work: The DITA schemas can
serve
some of the same purposes as DocBook but take a different approach. The two
standards complement each other.
