The name "DITA Semiconductor Information Design SC" does not limit the scope of our findings and relevance to specializations.

Goals

Identify data patterns that are consistent and/or specific to the semiconductor industry. Examples may include:
- Features
- Instruction sets data (may not have standard/native syntax/data structure)
- Register data
- Signals data
- Mechanicals data
- Electrical characteristics
- Timing data
- Thermal characteristics

Most of these content types/structures are well-defined by other standards, such as IP-XACT, IEC-61360, IEEE-P1685, etc.; others are not. This committee will define how information stored in standards-based formats will interact with DITA systems. Data stored in other XML formats may be used in a number of ways, including (but not limited to):

- Data is referenced as 'foreign' content
- Data is transformed from native format to DITA

Determine which content types/patterns justify the creation of a DITA specialization
Create specializations
Establish guidelines and XSLT for transforming specialized data
Create metadata guidelines
Provide high-level perspective of how DITA systems should interface with RTL, Verilog, design flow tools, and other relevant tools, processes, and standard data formats
Consider role of SVG, TDML, MATHML and characterize how they should interact with DITA. The recommendations of this committee should have enough weight to re-energize ownership and development of neglected domains.
Provide justification for standardizing semiconductor industry and propose business benefits of participating in SIDSC

Deliverables

All files required to successfully implement all specialized topic types (which will be defined at a later time), including:
- Schema, MOD files, XSLT
- Supporting online documentation (created in DITA) and hosted on OASIS web site
Recommendations for the 'role of DITA' in semiconductor information design
