A DTD-syntax element domain vocabulary module consists of two files: one that declares the element types and one that defines parameter and text entities used to integrate the module into shell document types.
The element type declaration file has the extension ".mod", the entity declaration file has the extension ".ent". These two files together comprise the complete domain module.
For example, if your specializations require a specific formatting effect that is not the default DITA behavior for the base types, you must extend the output processors you use to provide the formatting effect. Typically this means creating extension XSLT scripts for use with the DITA Open Toolkit, but it can also mean extending built-in editor configurations and style sheets, or extending or customizing content management systems, Web sites, and so on, depending on the nature of the specialization.
