5 Main similarities between ATA & 1000D standards ATA and 1000D standards Deal with Maintenance Manuals and ervice Bulletins in Aircraft domain Focus on a vision of documentations as «Electronical Technical Publications», for 1000D as well as ATA, since 2100 & 2200 evolutions Are based on the same fundamental principle of «separation between structured content and visual form» Have a production process based on the use of DTDs to create a GML / XML structured content (similar languages with tags-attributes-values) and the creation of final publications available for consultation, by applying a visual form on the structured content equire control, validation and delivery mechanisms to respect given rules equire a documentation management system to ensure appropriate conservation of documents creation and its differential updates 4

6 Main differences between ATA & 1000D standards ATA standard s based on a single electronic document piece organization (Component Maintenance Manual / ervice Bulletin) Provides standards DTD that are generally directly used by concrete Tech. Pubs programs 1000D standard s based on a multiple electronic modular elements organization (Data Modules) Provides standards DTD that are generally declined with specificities by concrete Tech. Pubs programs s based on the publishing of a s based on the publishing of many unique final document s format possible final document s formats (classical PDF paper format) (classical PDF paper format or.e.t.p. formats) Generally requires PDF publishing production delivery from suppliers to integrators or end-users Generally requires GML / XML authoring production delivery from suppliers to integrators or end-users 5

7 Production process: suppliers/integrators/end-users ATA standard 1000D standard Authoring / Publishing Production process between uppliers, ntegrators and End-Users A U T H O N G tandard DTD DTD used by multiple programs U P P L A U T H O N G tandard DTD Program DTD Program DTD Program DTD U P P L E sgml / xml CMM - B E sgml/xml DMs sgml/xml DMs sgml/xml DMs P U B L H N G 6 Program Program Program Model Model Model PDF File PDF File PDF File or ETP or ETP or ETP M M D B N T E G A T O E N D - U E P U B L H N G Program Model C D B Program Model Program Model PDF File PDF File PDF File or ETP or ETP or ETP N T E G A T O E N D - U E

8 Managing ATA & 1000D multi-contexts programs This large range of programs implies to Understand the complete business rules provided by Guidance, CDM or equirements documents, coming from integrators or end-users clients: Particular authoring rules requested into a specific DTD structure Particular publishing visual model including format, text-style, color, Particular data delivery and exchange process expected by the clients Apply the authoring precise rules to fill the pre-defined content structure ealize precisely the requested publishing visual model final output For that, define, develop and then use the right Tools and Methods helping to guide, control, respect these requirements during all production phases nsure that Tech. Pubs production ability (data creation, updates and management) during all the provided equipments life time (ie ~ 30 years)! 7

10 Original tool and process: disadvantages and limits Our original tool for ATA & 1000D contexts revealed many problems and lacks, during its concrete use: Necessity of a double format management (native + final formats) Necessity of a double DTD management (internal + external official DTD) Authoring activity mixing structured content and visual form work, with duplication of contexts from same DTD basis, for publishing needs Lack of guiding and control functions during authoring phase isks of errors due to the parallel publishing process from native work Bad general process, without separation between authoring and publishing Lack of global documentation data management functions 9 Disadvantaging tool and process for an efficient work General incompatibility with the technological exacting nature of structured Technical Publications production

13 New workshop and process: advantages and gains Our new workshop for 1000D contexts permits to obtain: implicity of an unique format management (final authoring formats) implicity of an unique DTD management (external official DTD) Authoring activity focused on structured content work only, guided and controlled directly by official DTD basis, with permanent validity check No more visual form work neither duplicated d contexts t for publishing needs Direct HTML and PDF generation abilities for internal validation use Multiple distinctive publishing phases abilities, from same electronic data Good general process, with separation between authoring and publishing Complete management functions system (supplier CDB concept) + Network architecture t permitting facilities for internal work organization + mport / export function when deciding to use external sub-contractor help Performing and efficient tool and process, in accordance with the philosophy of structured Technical Publications production 12

16 Ameliorations and O expected for ATA programs Moving ATA contexts on our new workshop will permit to Overtake the disadvantages and limits associated to our original tool Migrate all our electronic documentations activities on the same workshop Establish a junction between our ATA and 1000D contexts production, around the same well-formed process, separating authoring and publishing Take advantage of all functions and abilities linked to our new workshop Take the benefit of the new workshop s experience on 1000D contexts Enjoy ideal conditions to realize the final PDF formats, thanks to an ATA standards dedicated publishing engine Final goal and completion = use of the unified workshop and process for ATA & 1000D programs, in accordance with the philosophy of structured Technical Publications production 15
