S1000D Conversion – Fact Sheet

S1000D Conversions for the Defense and Commercial Aerospace Industries

What is it:

S1000D is an SGML/XML based international standard that was initially developed in the aerospace industry and is now being applied to many industries where large complex pieces of equipment or complex processes are produced and supported.

In the US Military, the Office of the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense For Logistics and Material Readiness (OSD) is reviewing a directive that defense program documentation should be S1000D compliant.

The commercial aviation industry is in the process of adopting the S1000D specification as a replacement for the current ATA 2200 standard.

S1000D requires Business Rules (BREX) and Data Module Codes to be defined prior to conversion.

Capability:
  • Source data evaluation – is S1000D for you?
  • S1000D System Integration
  • Content Business Rules Development
  • DMRL development
  • Conversion of data & documents into S1000D compliant SGML/XML
  • High volume bulk conversion
DCL Experience:
  • Performed a successful multi-stage pilot conversion for OSD
  • Performed a significant S1000D conversion for the FAA
  • Performed the S1000D SCORM pilot for the S1000D SCORM Testbed in conjunction with ADL Job Performance Technology Center
  • Member of the S1000D TPSMG (Technical Publications Specification Maintenance Group) and the EPWG (Electronic Publications Working Group)
  • 25+ years in conversion business
  • Authored chapters on ‘Legacy Data Conversion’ in Columbia Guide to Digital Publishing and in the ‘XML Handbook’ by Charles Goldfarb.
Differentiators:
  • In-depth experience with S1000D
  • Capability to implement content reuse program to identify reusable data modules for process efficiency improvements.
  • Experience with ATA specifications
  • Extensive experience with the 38784, 2361, 3001, NAVSEA C2 and other DTDs.
Languages:
  • Experience with most foreign languages including Latin based and double-byte characters.
  • Experience with Unicode.
Process:
Two-phase process consisting of:
  1. Project Engineering

    1. Analysis of Source Materials
    2. Creation of Business Rules (Conversion Specification)
    3. Hand-Tagged Sample
    4. Pilot Conversion

  2. Production Conversion

    1. Combination of automated conversion and manual processing
    2. Multiple levels of Quality Assurance
    3. 24 x 7 Web-based Tracking and Reporting
