Topics with S1000D headers

S1000D header on top of topics in order to manage

topics in a CSDB

p. 3

Ability to simply include/remove particular blocs of elements or attributes

Hotspot arising errors because the corresponding

domain is not activated

p. 4

Ability to simply include/remove particular blocs of elements or attributes

<hotspot> domain is not “activated”

p. 5

Ability to simply include/remove particular blocs of elements or attributes

When hospot domain is activated…

p. 6

Ability to simply include/remove particular blocs of elements or attributes

<Hotspot> elements arise no more error

Ability to use business specific vocabularies

xTEDS XML Electronic Transducer Data Sheet

A bloc of data conforming to xETDS std : Electronic

Transducers Data Sheet

Or could also be a <KML> vocabulary for positioning some info on a map (GIS)

Working Group - activity

► Started in 2011, with the goal of making interoperability between these 2 major documentation standards

► Monthly meetings (confcall) to manage the project Reports are accessible on GIFAS Website

► Technical studies and proofs of concept A library of 26 Proofs of concepts

POC #6 shows valid S1000D publication and DITA maps mixing topics and DMs POC #19 shows restrictions on a <p> element POC #20 shows incorporation of new vocabularies with namespaces …

Free of access on the GIFAS website for supporter of the initiative Proposed models are public domain, NO Intellectual Property

► Style sheets (XSLT) working group

proposal for a new meta model for S1000DAccepted and applied since S1000D Issue 3.0

A one year long study is run for having valid schemas for DITAA solution is found, based on the S1000D meta-model

Creation of the French S1000D-DITA working groupThe model is stressed through miscellaneous proofs of concepts

An XML model for having mixed publications S1000D/DITA is established

The proposed new model is opened to any new XML vocabulariesDomains are implemented in S1000D

XSLT sub-working group is created
