The S1000D standard is a global specification for technical documentation, widely adopted in the aerospace, defence, and automobile industry. It provides a standardized approach for creating, managing, and converting the technical data, ensuring consistency and reliability. Converting technical data to the S1000D standard requires a methodical approach to structuring, organizing, and delivering complex technical information.
Once the content has been mapped and the Data Module Specification (DMS) is established, the next step is to convert the data into XML format. The S1000D standard employs XML schemas to define document structure.
XML tools or S1000D-compliant authoring software are often used to automate much of the conversion process. These tools streamline the tagging of content and ensure that the final document fully complies with S1000D standards.
