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.

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 Can be unpublished.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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
