3. Benefits of using S1000D
Based on international neutral standards.
Reduces maintenance costs for technical information.
Transforms data into configuration items.
Allows subsets of information to be generated to meet
specific user needs.
Facilitates the transfer of information and electronic
output between disparate systems.

4. Benefits of using S1000D
Many different output forms can be generated from the same
base data = safety of data + consistent message.
The S1000D data module concept can be applied to legacy data.
Non-proprietary = neutral delivery and management of data.
The specification incorporates the planning and management,
production, exchange, distribution and use of data in electronic
form for different types of output (from page oriented to IETP).

6. Planning and Management
Expanding an organisation’s product reach.
Common information can be identified.
Overall time needed.
Direct contrast to other documentation standards.
Cost of maintaining the data is greatly reduced.
Specification for aerospace maintenance documentation.

7. Production
Enhance technical information exchange.
Information re-use.
Data mining will be a benefit.
Content in different stores to be exploited.
Without data mining, content is not captured.
Documentation process can be streamlined.
Re-use content.
Re-use any common information and add in extra documents.
Reduce errors.
Virasec Pty Ltd – Commercial In Confidence
8. Production
Fix errors once.
Common Source Database (CSDB).
Can be unpublished.
Roll-back to a previous revision.
Written in a structured format (i.e. SGML or XML).
Streamlined publishing process.
Focus is taken off format.
Will create and maintain accurate information.
Less redundancy and less time recreating data.
Virasec Pty Ltd – Commercial In Confidence
9. Exchange
Responsive to emerging technology.
Content can be re-used for computer based training.
Simplified Technical English (STE-100)
Ambiguity will be substantially reduced.
Controlled language.
Assist other nationalities to understand procedural steps.
Most up-to-date documents are available.

10. Exchange
Not using Simplified Technical English:
Using the Nylon head mallet, strike the top of the pin with
light force until 5mm of the pin protrudes from the hole.
Using Simplified Technical English:
Tap the pin into position.

Content common to both pieces
of equipment are recognised.
13. Distribution
Integration with other vendors’ systems and projects.
International interoperability.
Desirable for production of identical products.
Modularisation.
Revision control.
Each file has a clear revision number.
Multiple computer programs and staff skill sets.

14. Relationship with CBT systems
Computer Based Training (CBT).
Deeper knowledge and understanding.
This is obtained by:
having an interactive learning environment
simulating a real world model
having the student solve a problem as the end goal.
Virasec Pty Ltd – Commercial In Confidence
15. SCORM
The relationship between S1000D and SCORM has been
established so that training content can be developed using
the data module concepts of S1000D.
A new data module type has been added.
It captures the five different learning information types.
To provide the link to the SCORM LMS, connectivity is
provided through the LOM in the new SCORM content
package module.
Virasec Pty Ltd – Commercial In Confidence
16. SCORM
SCORM is a perfect partner.
Maintenance information can be re-used.
A major advantage of using CBT software is:
it promotes distributed distance learning.
Key feature: testing knowledge between sections or steps.
Quickly and easily updated.

Editor's Notes
Many different output forms can be generated from the same base data thus ensuring safety of data and that every user regardless of output form is getting the same message. This allows for the output to IETP and Print. This is able to be done by the application of stylesheets. This data is then used in different operational or maintenance environments. This includes maintenance procedures, operational procedures, checklists and wiring diagrams and flow charts.The S1000D data module concept can be applied to legacy data – Even though legacy data is normally stored in other data formats, S1000D allows the project to encapsulate that legacy content and wrap it with elements and attributes so that the legacy content can still be used with the projects IETP’s.It is non-proprietary and allows neutral delivery of data and management of data - By authoring the content using SGML \ XML this allows for the transfer of the data modules from one vendors CSDB system to another CSDB system.The specification incorporates the planning and management, production, exchange, distribution and use of data in electronic form for different types of output (from page oriented to IETP) as shown in Fig 1.
