DITA provides three extension facilities: configuration, constraint, and specialization. In addition, generalization augments specialization.
Specializations are implemented as sets of vocabulary modules, each of which declares the markup and entities that are unique to a specialization. The separation of the vocabulary and its declarations into modules makes it easy to extend existing modules, because new modules can be added without affecting existing document types. It also makes it easy to assemble elements from different sources into a single document-type shell and to reuse specific parts of the specialization hierarchy in more than one document-type shell.
