DITA FACTORY is the content management solution made for international markets.
Special-Purpose Machine
The Special-Purpose Machine sector is much more a set of engineering disciplines than a market in the economic sense of the term; a Special-Purpose Machine is designed according to an industrial need whether it is in aeronautics, logistics, automobiles, pharmaceuticals, health, electronics, etc..
4D CONCEPT has designed the DITA FACTORY CCMS based on its many experiences of documentary creation with Special Machines designers. Our DITA solution covers the complete range of publications concerning the maintenance and use of your Special Machines: operating instructions, maintenance manuals, quick start guides, etc.
We work with our customers in implementing the DITA standard for documents correlated with the design and operation of their machines, while complying with the recommendations of the Machinery Directive (Directive 2006/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of May 17, 2006).

Rail transport
Rail transport is a whole industrial and economic sector that has long hesitated to implement a unified documentary standard.
Numerous initiatives have been launched: EuroSpec for rail network operators, RailDex for maintenance and inspired by the ASD S1000D, as well as numerous research projects aimed at improving the operation and safety of all equipment and systems.
The world of Rail Transport is finally ready to update its XML document production chains; the DITA standard fully meets the regulatory, international and interoperability expectations and will become the guarantor of digital transformation in this sector.
The DITA FACTORY document workbench is constantly evolving and all of its features reflect the expertise of 4D CONCEPT.

Software engineering
The DITA standard was originally developed by IBM to enable more efficient reuse of product documentation content (hardware and software).
It is therefore in its history, linked to software engineering, that we find its origins and its extreme consistency with the world of IT development – modular, complex, international and perpetually updated for near real-time roll-outs.
The DITA FACTORY CCMS enables you to automate and industrialize repetitive tasks so that you can synchronize document production with product releases and all intermediate milestones such as transaction validations, or “commits”.
As DITA architecture was built with mapping between topics and unique features, the DITA Manager CMS allows you to follow the cycles of functional and documentary updates by relying on its fully configurable unique identifier management system.
The publication chains offered by DITA Publisher allow you to automate the distribution of files for online help (such as Microsoft, Eclipse, Webhelp and Tooltips mapping, etc.), to offer standalone HTML5 outputs or HTML data batches that can be integrated directly into the software..

Standards organization and legal publishing
Laws, codes, ordinances, decrees, orders, circulars, guides, alerts (such as those published in 2020 for COVID-19), policy decisions, etc. All these texts, representing a gigantic volume of information, are ordered, prioritized and linked together.
This sprawling structure, with EU legal texts at its apex, which have to be translated for all the members of the European Union, with multiple distribution channels, justifies the use of the DITA XML standard, based on the reuse of the content to be published.
The DITA FACTORY CCMS, thanks to its exceptional load-bearing capacity, makes it possible to:
- quickly track text updates,
- better manage case-law,
- preserve the coherence of the texts,
- make libraires of definitions (topic concepts or bibliographic databases),
- contextualize (texts from work, health, etc. fields),
- enrich with multidimensional links (meaning to several texts) to standardized or non-standardized references,
- replace references with reading tracking (link resolution),
- monitor translations and
- disseminate better in all channels (print, web, mobile app, exports and legal datafeeds, etc.).
The DITA Manager CMS with its Semantic option offers an additional dimension to legal information searches by recognizing nominal groups and allowing fine meshing using inference rules.
