: *Processing Context* - Any higher structure than a topic used to handle context.

:: * *Topic reuse or Course Grain Reuse* - Because of the non-nesting structure of topics, a topic can be reused in any topic-like context. | :: <b>Topic reuse or Course Grain Reuse</b> - Because of the non-nesting structure of topics, a topic can be reused in any topic-like context. |

: *[Specialization|http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-dita2/index.html]*. Allows any DITA element to be extended into a new element whose identifier gets added to the class attribute through its DTD. Therefore, a new element is always associated to its base, or to any element in its specialization sequence. | : <b>[http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-dita2/index.html Specialization]</b>. Allows any DITA element to be extended into a new element whose identifier gets added to the class attribute through its DTD. Therefore, a new element is always associated to its base, or to any element in its specialization sequence. |

:: * *Topic specialization* - A way to extend the generic topic into new information types (or _infotypes_). (Example, a recipe, a material safety data sheet, and an encyclopedia article are all potential derivations from a common reference topic). | :: <b>Topic specialization</b> - A way to extend the generic topic into new information types (or _infotypes_).

:: * *Domain specialization* - The element vocabulary within a topic (or set of infotyped topics) can be extended by introducing elements that reflect a particular information domain served by those topics. (Example a specialized domain, such as programming phrases, can be introduced by substitution anywhere that the root elements are allowed. | :: <b>Domain specialization</b> - The element vocabulary within a topic (or set of infotyped topics) can be extended by introducing elements that reflect a particular information domain served by those topics.
