Glossary

Each glossary topic defines a single sense of one term. Besides identifying the term and providing a definition, the topic can identify related terms. The glossary is a specialization of the concept topic.

Figure 1. DITA Glossary opened in Serna.



To create a glossary, you can do one of the following:
  1. Reference the glossary topics in a map.

  2. Group multiple glossary entries together in a single document under a container topic using the ditabase document type.

You can find more information about glossary topics at: http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.1/OS/archspec/glossaryArch.html.
