Originally developed for technical documentation for military aircraft, S1000D is now a popular DTD for military technical publications of all sorts, as well as maintenance and operations documentation for commercial equipment.
As an international specification, S1000D is widely used in the military and in the aviation industry. Its sophisticated hierarchical structure and predefined data modules ensure that your content is well organized, standardized, and ready for reuse.
