New DITA 1.2 feature article published by the DITA Adoption TC:"Improved glossary and terminology handling"

The OASIS DITA Adoption Committee has issued
another feature article about the upcoming DITA 1.2 release, authored
by Tony Self, HyperWrite PTY Ltd.



This feature article focuses on "Improved glossary and terminology
handling"; here is the abstract:


"DITA 1.2 introduces significant improvements to the way in which
terminology is handled. A new glossary entry element provides a
flexible semantic structure to store terminology information, and the
new indirect linking functionality allows terms occurring in the
content to be linked through a key reference or transcluded using a new
abbreviated-form element. Keys used for key referencing are defined in
a new glossref specialisation of topicref in the map."


The feature article's page on dita.xml.org contains a link from which
