Based on information types that can be specialized: an information type defines the role of a topic.
基于专门的信息类型：信息类型定义了主题的角色。
A new information type can be introduced by specialization from the structures in the base topic DTD.
可以通过专门化基础主题DTD的结构来引入新的信息类型。
Table 3 shows part of the specialization for an information type called APIdesc, for API description.
表3显示了API描述信息类型APIdesc专门化的一部分。
It takes in the desired information type as a parameter (infotype), and creates the topic accordingly.
它通过一个参数(infotype)接受目标信息类型，并创建相应的主题。
Simply select each subject area, your information type (such as articles or tutorials), and click Submit.
只需简单地选择每个主题区域、信息类型(例如文章或教程)，然后单击submit。
Each information type is defined in its own DTD module, which defines only the new elements for that type.
每个信息类型都用它自己DTD模块定义，这个模块仅定义那种类型的新元素。
Now you want to enforce this pattern and describe it with a specialized information type (for example, API descriptions).
现在希望保持这种范式，并将其用专门化的信息类型(比如api描述)来描述。
By default, each specialized element in the new information type will be treated as an instance of its general equivalent.
缺省情况下，在新信息类型中每一个专门化元素都被视作其常规同等体的实例。
The information type describes the content of the topic: for example, the type of a given topic might be "concept" or "task."
该信息类型描述了主题的内容：例如，所给主题的类型可能是“概念”或“任务”。
Rules govern how to specialize safely: Each new information type must map to an existing one, and must be more restrictive in the content that it allows.
规则控制了如何安全地进行专门化：每种新的信息类型必须映射到一个已有的信息类型，而且必须对允许的内容作更多的限制。
DITA articles are generally divided by information type: The tool as written supports migrations to topic, concept, reference, and task information types.
DITA文章通常按信息类型划分，该工具支持到主题(topic)、概念(concept)、参考(reference)和任务(task)信息类型的迁移。
Even if you had a specialization hierarchy 10 levels deep or more, the attributes would still allow unambiguous mappings to each ancestor information type.
即使专门化层次超过10层，该属性仍然能够毫无歧义地映射到每个祖先信息类型。
Our batch file converts all of the topics in a directory using the same information type, which means that we have to separate each type prior to migration.
我们的批处理文件是用同样的信息类型转换一个目录中的所有主题，就是说在迁移之前我们必须把每种类型先分开。
You might find that this is the easiest path; alternatively, you could create a batch file that queries you for the information type prior to migrating each topic.
您会发现这是最简单的方法，也可以创建一个批处理文件在迁移每个主题之前首先询问信息类型。
This article begins with the analysis of environment information type and its report form, paying special attention to the relevant issues of environment report audit.
本文从环境信息类型和披露形式的分析出发，探讨了环境报告审计的有关问题。
If you truly just want to add some new variant structures to an existing information type, use domain specialization instead of topic specialization (see "Specializing domains in DITA" in Resources).
如果只希望为已有的信息类型增加一些新的可变结构，应使用领域专门化而不是主题专门化(请参阅参考资料中的“Specializingdomainsin DITA”)。
