While DITA is a useful tool that provides topic typology, element names, inclusion structures, and reuse techniques, how best to utilize it depends on your organization's needs. These practices can be standardized and documented using information models like ER, UML, IDEF1X, or FCO-IM, facilitating effective future work.

​

- Helps train organizational members in ongoing content management and reuse. Without a standardized information model, each author creates a different topic structure, leading to duplicate topics or reuse based on unclear criteria, making information structuring more difficult.

 

- A standardized information model provides an environment where team members can collaborate more easily and clearly. It speeds up reviews and reduces the frequency of rework.

​

- When the document conversion output result is different from the expected result, it reduces the time spent worrying about the format of the output due to content changes by easily distinguishing the content and format using the information model, thereby improving the efficiency of document authoring and management.
