S1000D Implementation
Today, S1000D is used across wide range of industries in Defense and even in the Civil segments. For S1000D Implementation, one requires disciplined methodology and processes in place in addition to capable staff who can develop S1000D specification based technical publication.
We have a very robust methodology developed and have capable skills to implement technical publication using S1000D specification. Our S1000D implementation approach is divided into three important stages – Design, Develop and Deploy. Each stage of the implementation has proper quality gates to ensure quality.
Design Stage
- Setting up of the S1000D BREX (Business Rules Exchange) – Project Specific
- Define what needs to be included and excluded from the scope very clearly
- Audience analysis that includes skill analysis of individuals who will be performing the operations based on the information
- Definition of security, authorization, disclosures including any restrictions required
- Defining how data gets created, terminology used, distinction between textual and visual information and rules for the same
- Defining processes and procedures requiring interaction between different parties involved including manufacturer, subcontractors, customers and users
- Defining rules for data exchange, data integrity and quality. This sets up the baseline for how information will flow in from the suppliers.
- Defining how data gets published
- Data Module Requirements List Creation
- Breakdown structure of modules on how product is broken down by its physical nature. This includes supplier systems as well
- Process this DMRL into the CSDB to create the DMC’s (Data Module Codes)
Development Stage
- Data Module Creation
- Developing the DMs (XML files) based on rules defined and input provided by the system suppliers
- Developing textual and visual (3D) content
- Publishing
- Developing the navigation
- Publishing formats (specific to NavIETM publisher):
- Operating Systems
- Windows XP/ Server 2003 and above
- Red Hat Linux – Enterprise Edition (RHEL)
- Standalone PCs
- Server Installation
- Secured – Needs a Machine Specific License for every installation
- Unsecured
- Operating Systems
- Quality assurance
Deployment Stage
- Deployment on the final system
- Test the deployment
- Technical Support – Revisions/ Updations
