Can anyone teach me the relationship among XML, DITA and S1000D?

I am eager to learn but failed to find the answer. If anyone can tell me, I'd like to thank him.

dragonwave,

It is my belief that you are asking questions here that are far to complicated for a person to answer over a user-to-user forum. You are having trouble getting replies and it is because there is no easy answer to any of your questions. You are seeking knowledge that can take months or years of dedicated study to acquire. This forum is a good place for very specific, focused questions about how to use FrameMaker. There are entire books written about the subjects you are asking about. So, while I would like to be helpful to you, I'm thinking that the most helpful thing would be to provide this advice.

Thank you, but there is limited access I can find to these kind of knowledge. Maybe you can advice where?

DITA and S1000D are both implementations of XML.

XML: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML

DITA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_Information_Typing_Architecture

S1000D: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S1000D

If you do a Google search on "DITA XML" you'll find lots of information on DITA. Search on "S1000D" and there are lots of "what is S1000D" pages. And try "What is XML" and you'll get good stuff there too.

Good luck!

Well, I cannot Google. But I will try Wikipedia. Thank you.
