+ <link

+ oriented</link> documents.</para>
+
+ <para>Current lecture notes are <link
+ xlink:href="https://gitlab.mi.hdm-stuttgart.de/goik/GoikLectures/tree/master/Doc">being
+ represented</link> as <xref linkend="glo_Docbook"/> in a
+ <quote>linear</quote> fashion. Employing DITA requires:</para>

+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Identify sample topics.</para>

+ <para>Identify topic relationships for building maps.</para>

+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>The current lecture notes content may serve as a starting point
+ for creating appropriate assets. Other content may be used as well:
+ The project's goal is providing a self-consistent prototype.</para>
+
+ <para>Both <xref linkend="glo_XMLMind"/> and <xref
+ linkend="glo_OxygenXml"/> support <xref linkend="glo_DITA"/> documents
+ and related topic maps in particular.</para>

+ <glossterm>Assembly based lecture notes</glossterm>
+
+ <glossdef>
+ <para>This suggestion is related to the latter. Starting from <link
+ xlink:href="https://tdg.docbook.org/tdg/5.1">DocBook version
+ 5.1</link> support for <link
+ xlink:href="https://tdg.docbook.org/tdg/5.2/ch06.html">assemblies</link>
+ is being provided. These are another means addressing topic oriented
+ content creation.</para>
+
+ <para><xref linkend="glo_XMLMind"/> and <xref

+ <para>Deriving targets from <link
+ xlink:href="https://tdg.docbook.org/tdg/5.1">DocBook</link> content
+ may be effected by using appropriate <link
+ xlink:href="https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.docbook">Maven
+ archetypes</link>.</para>
+
+ <para>While these archetypes provide a good build automation they fall
+ short when transformations require preprocessing of images with
+ respect to a given target format.</para>
+
+ <para>Example: An author may provide a PDF image by virtue of <tag
+ class="starttag">imagedata fileref="image.pdf"</tag>. Generated <xref
+ linkend="glo_HTML"/> or <xref linkend="glo_EPUB"/> targets will
+ require a transformation to e.g. <xref linkend="glo_SVG"/> or <xref
+ linkend="glo_PNG"/>.</para>
+
+ <para>Likewise embedded video assets may also require type
+ transformations for <link
+ xlink:href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Supported_media_formats">supporting
+ different browsers</link>.</para>
