Lightweight DITA (LwDITA) is a simplified version of DITA. It consists of a much smaller set of elements, attributes, content models, and features. It is an upcoming standard for creating structured documentation. The latest release of FrameMaker supports LwDITA out-of-the-box. You can directly create a LwDITA map or topic from FrameMaker.
