S1000D TRAINING
4
• Two types of people are receiving this training:
• those responsible for procuring technical manuals
• those responsible for producing technical manuals
• This training course will get everyone familiar with applicable concepts
and comfortable with using S1000D
• This training will use a combination of classroom presentation, training
guide, and exercise completion.
• This training material is designed to provide introductory and beginner
information first before going deeper into more advanced topics.

• Module 1: Training Overview. This module
provides an overview of the training. It is an
introduction, with some explanation of the
different modules, their contents, and their
objectives.
• Module 2: Introduction to S1000D. What this
international standard consists of, how it
evolved, and how/when this approach may be
beneficial.
• Module 3: The Essentials: the Common Source
Database and the Data Module. The real meat
begins here. These are the essential concepts
underlying the modular, electronic database
approach to documentation.

Some modules have exercises to help prepare you for real life!
MODULES 1, 2, AND 3
(SUMMARY, INTRODUCTION TO S1000D, AND THE ESSENTIALS)

MODULES 4 THROUGH 6
(THE HEAVY STUFF)
• Module 4: Layered Decisions: the Business Rules. One feature of S1000D is
that it is designed to be tailored. All decision points related to a particular
document are addressed through Business Rules (BRs) that become part of
the contract. This section describes how they work, and it introduces all the
levels of applicable rules: S1000D, Joint Service, Army, and project-specific.
• Module 5: S1000D and the Acquisition Process. Content selection matrices
and a functionality matrix (for Interactive Electronic Technical Publications
(IETP), the S1000D term for IETM) are used to specify most of the
document’s characteristics. This module describes the matrix and its use; it
also reviews the changes in what goes into the Technical Manual Contract
Requirements package, what the contractor deliverables are, and which
standards and policies apply.
• Module 6: The Change Process. The processes to suggest changes to S1000D
and MIL-STD-3031 are explained.

MODULE 2: INTRODUCTION
TO S1000D
• S1000D is an international specification for standardizing the
acquisition and production of technical publications.
• S1000D is designed to be readily tailored to support any type of
equipment, military or civil, anywhere.
• With S1000D, all information for a publication is stored in the form of
individual, coded electronic modules (similar to work packages) in a
database.
• Data is generated in a non-proprietary, neutral format, so it can be used
by (and viewed on) many different systems.
• A Publication Module specifies the order in which those modules will
appear in a publication (paper or Interactive Electronic Technical
Publication(IETP)).
• The Data Modules (DMs) are produced in accordance with strict
structural rules (schemas) and are marked up in XML.

9
S1000D’S PEDIGREE
• S1000D was initially developed by the European Association for Aerospace
Industries, now the AeroSpace and Defence Industries Association of Europe
(ASD) , because existing countries’ specifications were so varied.
• The current “harmonized” specification is jointly produced by ASD, the
Aerospace Industries Association (AIA), and the Air Transport Association (ATA).
AIA is represented by the United States S1000D Management Group (USSMG).
• The international S1000D Steering Committee proposes documentation
standards and modifications to be agreed on by the participating nations.
• The Steering Committee maintains S1000D and works with technical specialists
to keep up with technological changes – e.g., making sure S1000D
requirements harmonize with those of the Shareable Content Object Reference
Model (SCORM) to support training content.

S1000D AND THE ARMY
• The Army has been involved with the development and sustainment of
S1000D (through the Land Working Group (WG)) since 2006.
• The Army sponsored S1000D change proposals that were incorporated
into Issue 4.0 to ensure that S1000D satisfies Army requirements.
• S1000D and MIL-STD-40051 are both approved and acceptable technical
data standards available for use in the Army.
• Any Army program developing S1000D data must also be in compliance
with the business rules defined in MIL-STD-3031.
• MIL-STD-3031 contains the business rules for tailoring S1000D for Army
programs.

NEW TERMINOLOGY
S1000D Term Army Term Definition
applicability effectivity The state or condition when associated data is valid (i.e., applying to a certain
configuration, model, or even environmental condition). Applicability may also be
used to describe how data modules pertain to different customers for delivery.
The term “effectivity” is not used by S1000D.
illustrated parts data parts list, illustrated
parts catalog, or
RPSTL
Data modules that contain repair parts and special tools information.
information set Content
requirement
Information sets define content requirements. Information set requirements can
be collected together to provide an author with content requirements for a
subset of data to be authored or an entire publication.
Interactive Electronic
Technical Publication
(IETP).
Interactive
Electronic Technical
Manual (IETM)
The interactive presentation of data modules that are displayed on screen and
are not page formatted.
product Materiel or end
item
The equipment or materiel that is the primary subject of the technical data. This
is used in lieu of terms like “aircraft,” “vehicle,” or “ship” since S1000D can apply
to air, land, or sea products.
first verification and
second verification
validation and
verification
The terms first and second verification are used in S1000D and have the same
corresponding meanings as validation and verification, respectively.
publication Technical Manual
(TM) or IETM
A publication refers to the presentation of data modules regardless of its output
format (e.g., screen or paper).
reset area guidepost The reset area is a part of the Interactive Electronic Technical Publication (IETP)
viewing area that contains access to functionality such as the ability to return the
IETP view back to its default settings.
11

A MODULAR APPROACH
• All DMs that apply to a product are gathered and managed in the Common
Source DataBase (CSDB) for that product. (With S1000D, the CSDB can be a
Windows directory structure or a more complex collection of distributed
databases.) Note: A CSDB is not a content management system but rather a set
of tools for managing source data.
• An individual Data Module (DM) exists in only one location in the CSDB. It can be
referenced and (re)used as many times as a Publication Module calls for it.
• During the publication process, a DM can be imported into a page-based
document or an electronic publication like an Interactive Electronic Technical
Publication (IETP).
• Keeping information current and correct is easier: Whenever a module is
updated the latest version is available to end users. (The older version remains
available in the authoring environment.)
• The writing in a module needs to be simple and stand alone, so it can be reused
in other contexts.
12
A modular approach takes more work at the start, but it may pay off when
you get to reuse the modules!

DATA MODULES (DMs):
THE CSDB BUILDING BLOCKS
• A DM is the smallest self-contained information unit within a technical publication.
It is comparable to an Army work package.
• Data modules all have two parts as follows:
1. An identification and status section that contains all
the information (metadata) needed to manage the
module and the data contained in it.
2. A content section that varies with the schema that applies
to the type of DM chosen. The most common DM
content types for the Army will be: Descriptive, Procedural,
Crew, Fault, Illustrated parts data, and Maintenance checklists.
Other DMs also deal with Business Rules (BRs), change packages, and DM
management.
• The Common Source DataBase (CSDB) (remember that this can be just a directory)
also stores other types of information objects, such as illustrations and publication
modules.

15
WHY PROGRAMS
ARE CHOOSING S1000D
• Potential cost savings on writing and publishing (less duplication of effort)
• Potential for reduced information maintenance costs (lower volume of data)
• Uniform standards for all project participants (especially helpful for collaborative
projects, such as multiservice programs)
• Subsets of information can be generated to meet specific user needs
• Standard format for future data exchanges
• Designed for flexibility and tailoring to suit different uses
• Designed for integration with other international data standards, such as Logistics
Support Analysis Record (LSAR)
• Enhanced interoperability; information/output can be transferred among disparate
Information Technology systems, and automated transfer can be set up
• Internationally agreed-on standards allow neutral management/delivery of uniform
base data, with output form to be chosen by user
• Data-module concept can be applied to legacy data
• Improved clarity and easier/cheaper translation (if Simplified Technical English is
used)
• Many of the commercial TM development tools available now support S1000D but
must have a certificate of networthiness to be used on Army systems.

16
WHY THE ARMY IS IMPLEMENTING
S1000D POLICIES
• Some programs want to be able to use S1000D, for the reasons given
earlier (as well as foreign military sales and a growing preference for
Interactive Electronic Technical Publications (IETPs)).
• DOD and the Joint Services have already defined Business Rules (BRs)
for use with S1000D, and the other Services have a number of
programs using S1000D.
• Tailoring through Army-specific S1000D BRs will enable programs to
implement S1000D effectively while successfully meeting all Army
and Joint Service requirements.
S1000D is not mandated. It is only an option.

17
MAIN CHANGES YOU WILL
SEE WITH S1000D
In the acquisition process:
• All project stakeholders must agree to a set
of Business Rules (BRs), implemented at a
number of levels, that specify almost all
possible decisions about the document and
its contents. The Joint Services and the
Army have tailored a set of BRs, and each
project needs to do the same.
• The BRs are formalized in a way that the
vendor and the government (and all
stakeholders) have a clear understanding
of expectations
• List of deliverables is different
– CSDB Status List (CSL), Business Rules
Exchange (BREX), Data Modules
(DMs), Data Dispatch Notes (DDN),
etc.
In the writing process:
• The sequence of a document’s parts is
independent of the content – the publication
and process modules determine the
presentation and production. Authors focus
solely on content.
• Authors should write content with DM reuse
in mind.
• Technical authors should be involved in the
BR development process. Note: As many of
the project BRs as possible should be decided
prior to contract award. Any remaining
project BRs should be decided at the start of
work meeting.
• Technical authors have a new standard to
consider. The size can be daunting. See next
slide…
S1000D project stakeholders: PM, LCMC, OEM vendors & subs, equipment
specialists, LOGSA, TRADOC, etc.

18
KEEP IN MIND WHEN YOU
START USING S1000D...
• S1000D needs to be tailored for every project. Business rules (BRs) documenting
the desired tailoring will be part of the contract. The process is more formalized in
S1000D.
• The applicable BRs and requirements are at several levels: S1000D, Joint Services,
Army, and project. All of them are essential to using S1000D effectively.
Contractors, Life Cycle Management Command (LCMC) Equipment Publication
Control Officer (EPCO), and LOGSA will work with the project to determine the BR
details, make recommendations on the project-specific decisions, and frame the
related BRs.
• As part of the process of defining the project-specific BRs, projects also need to
define conventions for some elements, usage, and terms so everyone has a
common understanding.
• S1000D provides schemas for developing the content of each type of DM. The
schemas cannot be changed because changes will not comply with Army
requirements; and the data will not work in S1000D tools (e.g., viewers, styles
sheets, publishers) nor will the data interchange with other programs or uses.
• Changes to S1000D or its schemas can be made only through a formal request that
requires Land Working Group (i.e., Army), USSMG, and international approval.
• People writing S1000D manuals will become very familiar with Chapters 3, 4, and 6.
Both authors and acquisitions professionals will also use MIL-STD-3031, which
provides Army-specific content selection tables and information codes.

USING THE FULL SPECIFICATION
• S1000D covers all aspects of technical publication activities in support of any
platform, system, or equipment project. Fortunately, most of S1000D’s pages
will be used simply for reference.
• Each Chapter has sub-Chapters (and often sub-sub-Chapters) in a standard
format that includes appropriate elements, attributes, markup guidance (with
examples) and the relevant BRs. Decisions on those BRs are documented in
MIL-STD-3031 and the project BR matrix.
• Note that Chapter 5 has been almost totally replaced. The Army has defined
new information sets documented in MIL-STD-3031 that better suit its needs.
• S1000D’s nine Chapters are as follows:
Chapter Topic Contents
1 Introduction to the
specification
General information: scope of the specification, how to use it, and change requests.
2 Documentation
process
Overview of the documentation process, including the use of IT and the relation to
other processes and specs such as ASD S2000M and Product Life Cycle Support
(PLCS) (ISO 10303 AP239). The concept of the tailoring process (BRs) is covered
by Chapter 2.

21
THE FULL SPECIFICATION (cont.)
3 Information
generation
General rules of writing for technical publications to be produced on the
basis of DMs and CSDB concepts (mostly for authors and
illustrators). (A publication is defined as a user’s view of information
compiled and published for a customer. It may be an IETP or a page-based
publication compiled from DMs or a publication with legacy data.)
Chapter sections are:
3.2: Basic structure of the DMs.
3.3: Use of the information sets that establish the required information scope and the DM
coding strategy. (An information set is an author’s view of the information required, of
defined scope and depth, for a DM to be managed in the CSDB.) The Army has its
own content-selection tables for various types of documents.
3.4: Rules for zoning and access.
3.5: Updating DMs.
3.6: Rules for the protective marking of DMs (e.g., which element reflects security
classification)
3.7. Details of the quality assurance procedures used during module/publication development
and updated to ensure that the contents are adequate and technically accurate.
3.8: Rules for modular disassembly/breakdown of equipments.
3.9: Structural rules for DM production, together with authoring rules for writing, illustrations,
and multimedia (including components like front matter, warnings, and notes). This
section is 1000 pages of useful information for authors!

22
4 Information
management
Oriented towards managing data for publication, this Chapter covers the DM structure, rules for
interchange of DMs, document type definition, and rules for updating of DMs so that common technical
documentation can be produced. Sections are:
4.2: Addressing, storing, and handling information objects such as DMs,
illustrations, and publications, including information needed to establish the CSDB.
4.3: Details about the coding of DMs.
4.4: The illustrations and multimedia information associated with DMs.
4.5: Data Module Lists (DMLs) used for managing CSDB content.
4.6: Handling comments on DMs and publications.
4.7: Version control.
4.8: Interchange of DMs.
4.9: Using the publication module and SCORM content packages to define, prepare,
and manage publications and learning content generated from DMs.
4.10: The Business Rules EXchange (BREX) mechanism.
4.11: Use of the process DM.
4.12: Master-customized concept for managing a multi-customer environment.
4.13: Optimizing and reusing data. Includes how significant data within a DM
are handled, a mechanism for grouping properties related to different technical
information types, and a production management mechanism for associating
modules representing the same data with different product configurations.
4.14: Applicability model and the three cross-reference tables. Can support either
static output or dynamic output filtered for a particular product configuration.

MODULE 3:
THE ESSENTIALS: DMs and Other CSDB Objects
Data Modules (DMs)
The DMs are the smallest
self-contained units of
information in a
publication. Each one is
unique and may be re-
used as often as needed.
Data Module Code (DMC)
The multi-part DMC
enables each DM to be
uniquely identified,
retrieved, used, and
managed appropriately
for the particular
publication.
CSDB
The CSDB stores all the
information for the
publication. The chunks
of data reflect a specified
outline, just as work
packages do, and the
modules are in a standard
format.

DATA MODULES (DMs)
• Each DM contains one topic or procedure related to the equipment. The DM
schema type will vary depending on the content. The most common DMs
schema types for an Army TM are Descriptive, Procedural, Fault, Crew,
Illustrated Parts Data (IPD), Publication, and Maintenance Checklists.
• The amount of data in a single DM is dictated by the equipment breakdown
(Standard Numbering System (SNS)) and the procedure or topic to be covered
(as dictated by the content selection matrix and the Information Codes (ICs)).
– Required content is found in the content selection matrix appropriate for
the type of manual
– The SNS provides the equipment breakdown that identifies the part of the
product to which the DM applies
– The ICs, provided in the content selection matrix, identify the topic of the
DM (e.g., “Lubrication”)

28
IDSTATUS:
This is the metadata. The ID
part includes DM ID and DM
address items. The status
part accommodates 19
possible types of
information about the DM.
CONTENT:
This is what the user sees.
The DM contents vary with
the type of module. All DMs
are structured in accordance
with a set of common
constructs.
DATA MODULE (DM) STRUCTURE
• All DMs use the same basic two-section structure. The
first section contains identification and status
information (metadata), and the second contains the
content presented to a user.
• The identification and status section makes it possible
to uniquely identify the DM and manage it in the
Common Source DataBase (CSDB). Besides Data
Module Code (DMC), name, and issue information, it
includes the module’s classification, applicability (same
as Army effectivity), originator, reason for update, QA
status, distribution, export control, destruction, and
handling.
• The content section is specific to the type of DM
selected (see the following list of types). The schema
for that type of module determines the elements and
attributes to be used in choosing the content and
authoring it in XML.

29
DM Schema Types
• Descriptive. For General Information, Theory of
Operation, some Supporting information (e.g., COEI, BII),
Army Wiring Diagrams, and many other types of content.
• Procedural. For procedural tasks.
• Fault. For troubleshooting.
• Maintenance planning. For Maintenance Allocation
Charts (MACs).
• Crew. For Operator information.
• Illustrated parts data. For illustrated parts lists and
special tools lists.
• Process. For sequencing other DMs or steps in an
Interactive Electronic Publication (IETP).
• Learn. For training material to be presented in
accordance with SCORM. (There is no Army policy
regarding the Learn DM type.)
• Maintenance checklists. For maintenance, service, or
inspection checklists.
Although the Army
will typically not be
using them, S1000D
includes schemas for
two types of wiring-
related DMs:
Wiring data.
Wire, harness, and
equipment data.
Wiring description.
Information about the
wiring, such as layout,
access, and
maintenance.

• Container. For associating several DMs that represent different versions of the same data.
– Not required
• Cross-reference tables. Used to manage the applicability of DMs based on equipment
attributes or conditions.
– Must be used when there are applicability requirements – no Army Business Rules (BRs) written yet
• Comment. Can be used to report errors and recommended improvements in the technical
data via DA Form 2028 or for use in the IPR process.
• Data Dispatch Notes (DDNs). Used to list the items included in a delivery of data, like a
manifest.

33
THE DATA MODULE CODE (DMC)
• The DMC is used with the metadata in the identification and status
section described previously to manage, retrieve, or access the DMs in the
Common Source DataBase (CSDB). (Illustrations/multimedia have a
similar code.)
• The DMC’s structure is standardized. It is partitioned into three parts:
“hardware identification,” “information type,” and “learn type.” (Learn
type is optional and only used with training DMs and is typically not used
by Army pubs. Consult with TRADOC if used)
• The lengths of the DMC’s individual components may vary; the whole
DMC can be anywhere from 17 to 41 alphanumeric characters long.

THE MODEL IDENTIFICATION (MI) CODE
• The MI is important because it makes all project Data Module Codes (DMCs)
universally unique.
– The MI must be registered with NATO Maintenance and Supply Agency
(NAMSA) (http://www.namsa.nato.int/s2000m/s2000m_moi14_e.htm).
– Projects must also notify LOGSA of all registered MIs.
• Normally, a project has a single MI. However, platform-level publications
may use Data Modules (DMs) that refer to other MIs, allowing the use of
existing DMs as is.
• In the example below, the MI (ANTPQ37V1) is for the PM RADARs ANTPQ
model 37 ground radar system.

PROCESS FOR REGISTERING MODEL
IDENTIFICATION (MI) CODES
1. Send e-mail requesting registration to:
spec2000m@namsa.nato.int.
– E-mail should include the following:
• Codes needed and brief description for each and the product the
codes will be used for
• Contact information including name, title, phone, address, FAX,
and e-mail.
2. When registration confirmation is received, notify LOGSA
via email and identify the registered codes.
– LOGSA wants to keep track of all codes used by the Army.
35

36
SYSTEM DIFFERENCE CODE (SDC)
• The SDC is used to identify alternate versions of a system or subsystem
identified by the Standard Numbering System (SNS)
– A is used as the first or default version (first version/base model)
• In the example below, the SDC (A) indicates that this is a Data Module Code

STANDARD NUMBERING SYSTEM (SNS)
• The SNS is used to identify the specific system, subsystem, and component or
assembly to which the Data Module (DM) pertains
• The equipment breakdown used in Army SNS must be the same as the
breakdown used for the equipment’s Functional Group Code (FGC)
– This ensures consistency between maintenance, parts, and MAC data
• In the example below, the SNS (02-KC-0104) indicates that this DM has to do
with a speaker power cable (FGC 0210020104).

Standard Numbering System (SNS)
38

 The SNS consists of four segments:
 system
 subsystem
 sub-subsystem
 and unit/assembly.
 These segments identify the equipment breakdown.
 The SNS is used in the same way a Functional Group Code
(FGC) identifies:
 a particular system
 subsystem
 component/assembly
 or part of the system or equipment (e.g., an engine).
39

Functional Group Codes (FGCs)
 An FGC is used for development of Maintenance Allocation Charts (MACs),
narrative technical manuals, and Illustrated Parts Data (IPD).
 A standardized method of FGC assignment for commodity types of
components/items is normally established by the requiring authority (e.g.,
technical publications community). These standardized assignments make
it easier for the user in the field to cross-reference between different TMs
of equipment maintained by that organization. For instance, engines may
always be documented under an FGC of “04" across all Army helicopter
types.
 The FGC sequence of the MAC will dictate the sequence of entries in the
narrative TM and IPD. A basic (usually two-position) group code assigned to
identify major components, assemblies, and subassemblies to a functional
system. Subordinate, subfunctional groups/subassemblies are coded to
relate back to the basic (top position) FGC in a sequential, next higher
assembly (NHA) relationship (i.e., top-down breakdown structure).
40

Mapping Functional Group Code (FGC) to
 The maximum length of an FGC is 11 characters (IAW GEIA-
STD-0007), whereas an SNS is typically six or eight characters
(not including a Material Item Category Code). By converting
the second and third level subassemblies (in an FGC) to single-
character codes (subsystem and sub-subsystem in an SNS), a
10-character FGC can be mapped to an 8-character SNS.
 For example:
 FGC 0102010100 (10 char)  SNS 01-CB-0100 (8 char)
 This re-use of an FGC allows for easy population of an SNS,
leaving both the system and unit/assembly codes unchanged
between FGC and SNS.
41

subsystem codes
42

43
DISASSEMBLY CODE (DC) + VARIANT (DCV)
• The DC identifies the breakdown condition of the assembly to which the Data
Module (DM) applies
– Project defined disassembly codes indicate whether and how much an assembly
must be broken down before the procedure in the DM can be initiated (e.g., it could
indicate that the radio case must be opened and the power unit disconnected
before a certain procedure can be initiated)
• In the example below, the DC/DCV (00000) indicates that no disassembly or
breakdown of the assembly is required to perform the procedure in this DM.

Data Module(DM) (i.e., the equipment), the Information Code (IC) and
variant (ICV) indicate the subject of the data module (i.e., the topic or
procedure)

CONTENT SELECTION EXAMPLE
The section of table below shows a segment of the content requirements for a
publication. You can see that for each content requirement the type of Data
Module (DM) is specified and the relevant Information Code (IC) is shown.
45

Information Codes (ICs) and Information Names
46

Information Codes (ICs)
 ICs identify the topic or procedure of a Data Module (DM)
 Example:
 IC “800B = Shipping characteristics”
 800 = the information code
 B = the information code variant
 Shipping characteristics = the information name
47

Information Names
 Human-readable version of the Information Code (IC)
(i.e., the short definition)
 Used with the equipment component name to provide
the Data Module (DM) title
 Example:
 “Fuel Valve FV4P – Install procedure”
48
The object of the data
module (equipment
component name) is
derived from the SNS of
the DMC
(aka “technical name”).
The subject of the data
module (the procedure)
is derived from the
information code (&
variant) of the DMC
(aka “info name”).
These two items
together form the
data module title.

Army/Joint Service Information
Codes (JS ICs)
 The Joint Services worked together to develop a common
information code list to be used by all U.S. Services
 The “A” variants (and Information names) in the JS IC list are
identical to those found in S1000D Chapter 8.4
 The variants beyond in the JS IC list augment those found in
S1000D Chapter 8.4
 In total, the JS IC list in MIL-STD-3031 replaces the IC lists in
S1000D Chapter 8.4
 In some cases, the information name is different from the
traditional/legacy Army title for a piece of content
 The correct meaning for the content was retained
 Example:
 131M “Normal operation check – Preflight” is the S1000D information
name for the legacy content that was titled “Preflight check”

Exercise 2 – Build a Data Module Code (DMC)
• Imagine you are part of the OH-58 Kiowa helicopter technical data project team. The
following model identification codes have been registered with NAMSA:
– OH-58 Kiowa helicopter (OH58KIOWA)
– Mast mounted sight thermal imaging system (MMSTIS05)
– Rolls Royce engine (RR00XYZ)
– Air-to-air Stinger missile system (ATAS02)
– 50-caliber machine gun (50CALMG)
• You have been instructed to develop a Data Module (DM) that provides the instructions
for installing the 50-caliber machine gun to the skids of the airframe. The OH-58 is a
new airframe and there is only one model with no variants or alternate configurations.
The work to mount the gun will be performed on the airframe itself. The Standard
Numbering System (SNS) for the gun mounting bracket on the skid is 01-DF-0001.
• The project has business rules that limit the System Difference Code (SDC) to 1
character and the Disassembly Code Variant (DCV) to three characters
• Identify the DMC that you will use for the DM you are preparing.

PUBLICATION MODULES (PMs)
• Publication module. For managing the preparation of an S1000D
publication. A publication module has an identification and status
section plus a content section that lists all Data Modules (DMs) (and any
other publication modules or legacy PDF publications) in the order in
which the publication will deliver them (S1000D Chapter 4.9).
– A publication module is a “wrapper” that sequences all of the content (data
modules and nested publication modules) of a page-oriented or interactive
electronic publication
– The next slide illustrates how a pub module can be constructed using
traditional concepts for comparison

Module 4
LAYERED DECISIONS: THE BUSINESS RULES

70
MODULE 4: LAYERED DECISIONS: THE
BUSINESS RULES (BRs)
• Business rules (BRs) reflect policies, procedures, or constraints that affect
how an organization or project conducts its business.
• BRs are implemented at decision points. They essentially make a number of
the possible decisions in advance.
• The BRs for S1000D publications form a hierarchy, with each layer inheriting
and extending the previous layer’s rules.
• For each of the layers, the total number of rules (decisions made) increases,
and the number of possible decisions remaining decreases.
• The goal is to have almost all the decisions made before writing begins, so
that everyone is writing to the same rules.
• Projects are allowed to add decision points and tailor the rules within the
project layer.

71
BUSINESS RULE (BR) LAYERS
• The requirements defined within S1000D are the top
layer of BRs.
• The next set of layers is the organization-wide layers.
They will vary with the organization; for the Army,
Joint Service rules come first, then the Army rules.
• For the project layer, Government personnel will
determine the basic project-related rules. Contractors
will make recommendations for rules responding to
the downstream decision points.
• Many sections of S1000D call for decisions to be made
at several stages. A project needs to make sure that
some sort of decision has been made everywhere that
one is required. (See MIL-STD-3031.)
• No BR may contradict or alter the S1000D schemas or
basic philosophies, nor any of the BRs in the preceding
layers.
S1000D Requirements
Joint Service Rules
Army Rules
Project Rules

72
S1000D DECISION POINTS
• S1000D specifies the decision
points at which a Business Rule
(BR) needs to be applied. S1000D
requirements have “must”
wording. Decision points that are
just recommendations or options
in S1000D may become rules in a
later layer.
• The decision points in S1000D
involve a wide range of topics,
sometimes simultaneously.
– These categories of BRs are
often interdependent; for
example, data exchange and
data management rules will
affect each other.

75
JOINT SERVICE BUSINESS RULES (BRs)
• The next tier of BRs is those set up by
the Joint Services (JSs). They are the
same for all the services.
• There are approximately 80 JS BRs.
• These Joint Service rules (labeled
“(JS)”) are included in Army Business
Rules for S1000D (MIL-STD-3031).
• Some examples of areas covered by
Joint service rules are security,
common look and feel, distribution
markings, etc.
S1000D Requirements
Joint Service Rules

76
ARMY BUSINESS RULES (BRs)
• Army Business Rules for S1000D, MIL-STD-3031, is
organized in the same order as the S1000D
Chapters. It includes both the JS rules and the
Army-wide rules.
• The Army BRs in MIL-STD-3031 were extracted from
more than 20 different Army standards. Projects
are not permitted to make decisions that contradict
any of them.
• In addition to the BRs, MIL-STD-3031 contains an
Army-tailored Functionality Matrix and Army
Content Selection Matrices. These new matrices
replace the functionality matrix and information
sets in Chapters 6.4 and 5.2 of S1000D.
• Currently, the Army has no documented
requirements for some of the functionalities that
S1000D covers, such as the use of the wiring DM.
Projects needing technical data in areas not
addressed by the MIL-STD will need to coordinate
with LOGSA.

78
PROJECT-SPECIFIC
• The project BRs cover all requirements that are specific to the individual sub-
project, project, or organization, and that are not common across a higher
organization. They must address all the remaining decision points.
• Project-specific BRs are by no means limited to authoring or illustrating. They can
fall into any of the S1000D categories; e.g., product definition or data creation.
Some possibilities are:
– Identifying optional XML elements and attributes that a project wishes to make
mandatory or to prohibit
– Specifying the content of the elements and attributes
– Specifying the Data Module (DM) coding strategy
– Defining the rules that will apply to graphics
– Specifying the rules for using management information
Like Data Dispatch Note (DDN) and DM Req’ment List (DMRL)
• It is important to document the project BRs clearly. No one wants
misunderstandings in areas like the requirements for optional elements.
– The Project BRs will be documented in the DID (DI-TMSS-81784)
• Project BRs need to be updated throughout the life of the project as the equipment,
mission, and other circumstances change.
• If a piece of equipment is used by multiple projects or services, it is possible to use
the modules related to it in all the relevant manuals.

PROJECT BUSINESS RULES (BRs) MATRIX
The matrix provided for documenting the project decisions is a downloadable
Excel file that looks approximately like the table below. Some items may
require more space than the matrix can provide; for example, an item that
calls for listing a number of tailored information codes. (The DID (DI-TMSS-
81784) also asks for some more general information about the project.)

80
GENERATING AND SHARING
• The Government lead is responsible for making sure that a BR is written to
address every decision point in the project layer.
• The PM and contractor need to review and agree to the completed Army
content selection matrices, and, for Interactive Electronic Technical Publication
(IETP), the Army’s functionality matrix (both are in MIL-STD-3031), BEFORE
completing the BR matrix.
• The Business Rules EXchange (BREX) file is another XML-coded Data Module
(DM) designed for recording and exchanging BR information among all the
contractors working on a TM project. It references all the layers of BRs that
govern the production of DMs: Joint Service, Army, and project. Every DM
refers to a BREX, because its rules apply to the DM’s content. Each DM will
reference the lowest level BREX applicable to the project.
• The Army BREX file is developed as Government-Furnished Information (GFI).
The contractor is responsible for developing the project-specific BREX which
will be a contract deliverable item. It can also be used to assist in verifying the
DMs .

Business Rules EXchange (BREX)
82

BREX
 Army project decisions are documented in either an Excel worksheet or in
a Word document.
 These decisions can be classified as narrative or machine-verifiable
decisions.
 A narrative decision cannot be verified by a machine, because it cannot determine
some necessary information on its own.
 Machine-verifiable decisions are true or false decisions verified by a computer. These
can include whether or not an element, attribute, or value is missing when required or
included when prohibited.
 A BREX is an XML-authored file which typically contains only machine-
verifiable decisions. Data Modules (DMs) can be validated against a BREX
to ensure compliance with existing and agreed decisions. Every DM must
reference a BREX.
 For example, an Army Business Rule (BR) prohibits the use of the attribute
vitalWarningFlag. If a project includes this attribute anywhere in a DM and
validates that DM against the Army BREX, an error will be generated in the
error report or log file.
83

Layered BREX
 There is a hierarchy to follow when it comes to BREX.
1. The top-level BREX is provided by S1000D and references itself.
2. The Army BREX is the next highest BREX and references the
S1000D BREX.
3. Project BREX are under the Army BREX and will either
reference the Army BREX or the command BREX, if applicable.
 Each BREX (top level to bottom level) further restricts existing
decisions and/or addresses any remaining project decision
points.
 For example, S1000D may allow “X” attribute the values “A-M,”
but the Army further restricts the values to allow only “A-H.” A
project may opt to restrict those values even further to “A-D”
and would include those allowed values in their project BREX.
84

BREX Limitations
 A BREX can check for the existence of elements and
attributes (and values), but not necessarily for verbatim
(boilerplate) or required content.
 The Army BREX will not verify compliance with every
Army decision contained in MIL-STD-3031, nor is a project
BREX expected to verify compliance with every
documented Business Rule (BR).
 A BREX is limited to validating only data modules. Other
CSDB objects are not currently supported (for example,
publication modules).
85

86
DOCUMENTING THE
• The Technical Manual Contract Package (TMCP) needs to include
documentation of all the predetermined BRs. The complete set of BRs
will later be a contract deliverable.
• MIL-STD-3031 not only presents all the S1000D decision points that are a
project’s responsibility, but it includes a matrix listing them. PMs and
contractors should use this matrix to document a BR for each of these
decision points. An Excel version of this matrix can be downloaded from
https://www.logsa.army.mil/mil40051/S1000D.cfm
• A Data Item Description (DID) DI-TMSS-81784 has been issued to
supplement the MIL-STD guidance on documenting project BRs
• Until S1000D is better established in the Army, projects are encouraged
to coordinate with LOGSA.

Developing Project Business Rules (BRs)
87

The Process
 Objective:
 To arrive at tailored sets of technical data requirements that are compliant
with S1000D while at the same time meeting a specific project’s needs.
 Start with the list of Business Rules Decision (BRD) points from MIL-STD-
3031 App C
 Remove unnecessary sections, based on equipment and other program
requirements
 Form a Business Rules Working Group (BRWG)
 Government lead
 Needs authority and ability to make decisions (e.g., Logistics Lead)
 S1000D and Business Rules (BRs) experts
 Equipment SMEs
 Technical authors
 Government publications representative/Lead Tech Writer
 Contractor Lead Tech Author
88

The Process
 The Business Rules Working Group (BRWG) should meet
regularly
 Typically biweekly by telecon
 Go through the Business Rules Decision (BRD) points list
and decide on project Business Rules (BRs) for each
 Assign and complete action items to research issues
between meetings
 The process concludes when all BRD points have
corresponding BRs
89

EXERCISE 4 – Business Rules Working Group
• Divide the class into teams of 4 to 6 members. Each team member
should assume the identity of one of the following jobs for a role playing
exercise:
– Government Lead (1)
– S1000D SME (1)
– Equipment SME (1 or 2)
– Technical Author (1 or 2)
• The team should identify a piece of equipment and carry out a mock-
Business Rules Working Group (BRWG) meeting. The equipment
identified can be one from an existing, planned, or hypothetical project.
The agenda for the meeting is to write project business rules for the
decision points on the following slide. The trainee that takes the role of
the Government Lead should facilitate the discussion.

Module 5
S1000D AND THE ACQUISITION
PROCESS

94
MODULE 5:
HOW S1000D CHANGES THE
ACQUISITION PROCESS
• Some features of S1000D that make a difference to the acquisition
process:
– Having source data deliverables that are XML-authored Data Modules
(DMs).*
– Using Business Rules (BRs) to specify virtually all possible decisions
about the document and its contents.
• But first you have to decide whether S1000D is suitable; then, whether to
produce a paper manual or an Interactive Electronic Technical Publication
(IETP); and then, what content is needed.
* MIL-STD-40051 data is
also authored in XML.

95
WHEN IS S1000D APPROPRIATE?
• Some of the factors that could indicate that S1000D is appropriate? When it
is a new system and…
– The program is a multiservice program
– If S1000D Data Modules (DMs) already exist
• The OEM may already be developing DMs for the equipment for
other customers
• S1000D DMs already exist from other related programs that can be
reused
– There is a requirement to link the technical data to the Logistics or other
product data
– The data will be in an Interactive Electronic Technical Publication (IETP)
and there could be foreign military sales
– It is likely that data could be reused and/or shared with other
publications or programs
– A business case indicates that S1000D is a cost-effective alternative
– The product has a long life cycle

WHEN IS S1000D NOT APPROPRIATE?
• Some of the factors that would indicate that S1000D is not
appropriate?
– The equipment has a short life cycle
– The equipment is low density
– The equipment is a simple device
– A COTS manual exists and is sufficient
– A majority of the data exists in a different standard
– The existing vendor does not have S1000D experience
– The Concept of Operations (CONOPS) or a business case indicates that S1000D
is not a cost-effective alternative
96

97
DECIDING ON THE PRESENTATION
• Using XML markup allows a document to be seen and used in a variety of
formats, but the project should decide on the manual’s presentation (IETP vs.
page-based) early on, since that will dictate whether or not the functionality
matrix is needed.
• Each project must decide the best fit for its specific equipment and end-user
requirements.
• Reviewing the functionality matrix may also help to decide whether to
produce an Interactive Electronic Technical Publication (IETP) or an electronic
page-based document (or both).

98
FUNCTIONALITY CATEGORIES
The matrix’s 12 main functionality categories are as follows:
CATEGORY TYPES OF FUNCTIONALITIES COVERED
Access Allow/restrict user viewing.
Annotation User’s ability to add notations such as bookmarks.
Delivery and distribution How data will be moved from vendor to client to end users. Both infrastructure and costs
are important considerations here.
Diagnostics and prognostics Fault identification, from basic troubleshooting to product-integrated systems. Ability to
predict degradation/failure. Again, a sizable potential cost driver.
External processes Ability to interact with external processes to retrieve/transmit information.
Graphics Potential levels of graphics display, interactivity, and navigation. Complex functionalities
may have high cost and system requirements.
Linking Linking can be within a publication or external. Effort/cost rise for access to resources like
material handling information, or integration with other data.
Navigation and tracking Some navigation/tracking options are basic, but higher-complexity techniques like dialog
driven interaction and some filtering techniques raise costs.
Printing Output style. Defining hard-copy-style output adds to the cost/complexity of IETPs. It is not
needed if an IETP will be used in an electronic environment only.
Special content Inclusion of additional data types such as audio, motion video, and animations. Content
cost and performance may be issues.
Updates Choice of methodology for making updates (which includes revisions, Rapid Action
Changes, etc.) can affect life cycle costs.
User operation mode Functionality that has to do with the user’s ability to connect with the source of the data
(e.g., standalone mode or network connected mode).

Unique to
3031
99
THE FUNCTIONALITY MATRIX COLUMNS
The matrix columns are as follows:
– Complexity. The values in this column provide a relative
degree of complexity, which can give some indication of cost.
– Requirement. The Army has entered some requirements in
this column; projects must determine which other
functionalities need to be defined as requirements for the
manuals being acquired.
– All data sets. This column indicates that the Army expects a
particular functionality to apply to all the information sets
used.
– Individual data sets. Each of the Army’s information sets
appears on the horizontal axis. If no A is found in the All data
sets column, the project needs to indicate which functionality
is needed for each information set.

100
COMPLETING THE FUNCTIONALITY
MATRIX
• Projects need to fill out a functionality matrix at the same time that they
select the appropriate content for a manual. Each functionality is fully
defined in S1000D Chapter 6.4.2. (Content matrices for various types of
publications are given in MIL-STD-3031.) Involve all project stakeholders!
• The preliminary functionality matrix should be provided as part of the
Technical Manual Contract Package (TMCP), so prospective contractors can
evaluate it (and use the matrix to prepare their response).
• The prospective contractors should be encouraged to propose additional or
modified functional requirements. (If accepted, these will affect the product
plan, content matrices, TM content, and project cost.)
• The acquisition officer needs to review the pricing and evaluate the costs
and benefits associated with the TMs as they are proposed.
• If higher-cost functionalities are specified, some tradeoffs may be required.
You can just use checkmarks, but rankings (like Required vs. Nice to have, or a set of colors
indicating importance or conditions) increase the usefulness of the matrix.

Content Selection, Functionality, & Data Module Lists
102

Content Selection, Functionality, & Data
Module Lists
 The process of determining content scope of an S1000D
project can be simplified by breaking the process down to
its component steps:
 Select manual types
 Select content (information sets)
 Select functionality
 Develop Standard Numbering System (SNS) (equipment
breakdown)
 Create Data Module Requirements Lists (DMRL)
103

Select Manual Types
 The selection of manual types will be guided by the type
of equipment and the maintenance philosophy or
CONOPS of the program
 MIL-STD-3031 Appendix A provides a list of common pre-
defined Army manual types
104

Select Content (Information Sets)
 Content within each pre-defined manual type can be
tailored
105

Select Functionality
 Program stakeholders should collaborate to determine the functionality
that is needed in the Interactive Electronic Technical Publication (IETP) to
support the equipment and CONOPS
106

Develop SNS (Equipment Breakdown)
 The Standard Numbering System (SNS) should match the
predetermined equipment breakdown
 This is based on the same breakdown used for parts and
MAC data
 The equipment breakdown, as documented by the SNS,
along with the content selection matrices and the
maintenance plan will help determine the purpose of
each Data Module (DM) and how many of each DM are
needed
107

Create Data Module Requirements List (DMRL)
 The DMRL is the document that identifies each specific
Data Module (DM) required to be produced and delivered
 DM type and purpose derived from the content selection
matrix (and functionality matrix)
 DM quantities/instances determined by the equipment
(Standard Numbering System (SNS)), the content selection
matrices and the maintenance plan will help determine the
purpose and quantity of each DM needed

THINGS NEEDED IN THE TECHNICAL
MANUAL CONTRACT PACKAGE (TMCP)
• Contract Line Item Number (CLIN)
• Statement of Work (SOW)
– With references to S1000D and MIL-STD-3031
• Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL)
– Reference the Project Business Rules (BRs) DID
• Document Summary List (DSL)
• Contract Attachments
– Content Selection Matrix
– Draft Data Module Requirements List (DMRL)
– Functionality Matrix
– Pre-contract Project Business Rules
• Contract clauses

111
CONTRACTOR DELIVERABLES
RELATED TO S1000D
• Following is a list of typical CDRL items:
– The final functionality matrix, for an IETP-type TM
– The final content selection matrix
• The final list of all applicable information codes
• The final list of required publications
– The final Data Module Requirements List (DMRL)
– The completed document according to DID (DI-TMSS-81784) (i.e., the
final list of all project-specific Business Rules (BRs))
– The final version of the project BREX module
– The source data for the manuals (all the Common Source DataBase
(CSDB) objects)

Managing Deliverables
 Data Module (DM) metadata in the status section
identifies the status of pre-release and production DMs
 The in-work number indicates the draft version number of a
DM
 This is incremented throughout the development (and change)
process whenever a draft DM is modified
 The issue number indicates the version of a complete (i.e.,
verified) DM and is assigned after the DM is verified.
113

In-Process Reviews
 Only completed Data Modules (DMs) should be reviewed
 Typically done at 30/60/90 % completion
 A 30% review should not occur when 30% of the total
authoring work is done, but rather when 30% of the DMs
are complete
 A review of 100% of the DMs that are each 30% complete
is fruitless
114

Exercise 5 – Data Module Structure
• Describe the function of the identification and status and
the Content portions of the Data Module (DM).
115
Data Module
Content Section
Identification and Status Section
ID Status
The identification and
status section uniquely
identifies the DM and
manages it in the CSDB.
It contains important
metadata. Content section
contains the
information that is
presented to the
user (the procedure,
topic, etc.)

Exercise 6 – Data Module (DM) Types
• Of the DM types that define content, which ones do you
expect to use most in your work, and why? Are there any
you are unlikely to use?

REQUESTING A CHANGE TO S1000D
• Past and current change proposals to S1000D can be seen on the S1000D site,
https://www.s1000d.org or http://s1000d.us. The listing shows every proposed
change (accepted or not) and the rationale put forth for making it.
• The process for Army submission of a proposed change to S1000D is described in
the Army/Land WG CPF Review Process (available at https://ussmg.btas.com or
http://s1000d.us).
– The process begins with a Land Working Group (Land WG) review of the
proposal.
– If approved by the Land WG, the Change Proposal Form (CPF) will be
forwarded to the U.S. S1000D Management Group (USSMG) to begin the
formal process of U.S. submission.
• The S1000D review process is designed to be thorough, because the effects of
any change could impact projects worldwide.

– Every effort is made to verify that the narrative and all schemas are correct,
but mistakes happen 
120
IDENTIFIED NEED FOR SPEC CHANGE

PROPOSE IDEA TO LAND WG
• Land WG requires a briefing which explains the modification and why it is needed
– The briefing should contain enough (background) information for all levels of
users to understand
– This briefing content will be used for the white paper which explains the
Change Proposal Form (CPF) in more detail
– Once approved by the Land WG, the CPF is then officially submitted through
the S1000D site

• As complete as possible, including:
– Contact information (complete and current)
• Update as needed
– All CPFs will be submitted as “US” CPFs (nation).
– Organization should be “US Army”
• Filenames should reflect “US”
• “Location in the specification”
– Which Issue does the CPF affect?
• Example, “At Issue: 4.0 Change No: 1” = Issue 4.0.1
– Locations in the current spec that are affected (chapters, paragraphs, tables,
figures, etc.)
• Every affected chapter must be included
SUBMIT CHANGE PROPOSAL FORM (CPF)
123

• “Change you think is necessary”
– A brief statement as to what the needed change is
• “Reason for your change”
– A brief explanation as to the reason behind your change
• Also, attach a white paper which clearly explains only the business case
– Refer to “Candidate” for file naming conventions
124

• After the submission process is complete, you will receive an e-mail containing a
link.
– This link is used for updating your CPF.
• Tip: Bookmark this link immediately (be sure you organize your
bookmarks to easily locate this link and update your CPF).
– If you cannot find this e-mail or failed to bookmark your link, go to the
“Update Proposal” link on s1000d.org and submit your e-mail address
requesting the information once again.
125

NEW
• Each Change Proposal Form (CPF) is assigned a unique number
– U.S. Army CPFs will include “US” for easy identification after the number
• Once the business case is approved (by the steering committee), it progresses to
Candidate
126

CANDIDATE
• Update the white paper
– Develop solution(s)
• Several ideas may have been discussed or suggested by the Land WG –
include all relevant solutions
• The concept(s) must be accepted before progressing to In-work
– Include the newly assigned number on each document and in each filename
• Change Proposal Form: CPF_20YY-xxxUS_r0_CPFTitle.doc
• White paper: CPF_20YY-xxxUS_a1_r0_CPFTitle.doc
– The white paper should now be at “r1” – 1st revision
• SPF: CPF_20YY-xxxUS_spf_r0_CPFTitle.doc
– YY = current year
– xxx = assigned unique number
– Increment “r0” for each revision
127

• Be aware of your Change Proposal Form’s (CPF) status!
• You are the only one allowed to update attachments or CPF information on the
viewer.
• All comments must be addressed and tracked in the white paper.
• Use the Change Tracking feature in Word
– Many CPFs are reviewed and it is far easier to note the changes than attempt
to figure out what those changes are while reading 10 or more additional
CPFs
• Keep screenshots to a minimum
– Although screenshots are extremely helpful, they can be burdensome to
constantly update
• For example, if you provide a screenshot of Schema changes and the
changes are not accepted the first time – that screenshot must be
updated each time it is reviewed, for the proposed technical solution
CANDIDATE
128

IN-WORK
• At this stage
– Identify affected chapters and narrative updates (next slide)
– Finalize Schema modifications
• Existing package which contains instructions, blank form, and an
example Schema Proposal Form (SPF) (available from
http://members.s1000d.org – access is required)
• Completed SPF must have EPWG approval
– Finalize solution(s)
• If necessary, schedule a discussion with the Electronic Publication
Working Group (EPWG) for advice and feedback
• If the technical changes are not agreed – the solution must be re-worked
until accepted.
• Once solutions are agreed, the white paper is updated (yet again) and all
documentation should be completed
• Keep the white paper up-to-date
129

• Several Chapter 7 sub-chapters may be related to your Change Proposal Form (CPF)
– Review each chapter to determine whether or not it is affected by your CPF (e.g., Chap
7.3.1.1).
– Every CPF must clearly include whether or not there are any changes to the following
chapters:
• Chap 7.3.1.3 is related to doctype/schema declarations. If invocation is not
affected, this chapter is not applicable to the CPF; otherwise, changes which
affect either or the flat and master Schemas must be included.
– Example, “This CPF contains no changes which affect the Schema
declaration.”
• Chap 7.3.1.4 is regarding backwards compatibility. New elements or attributes are
not backwards compatible. Renamed, restructured, or moved elements or
attributes must be included.
• Chap 7.4.2.1 should include a brief explanation of the CPF changes which affect
the Publication Module Schema (pm):
– Example, 2.2.8 Version 4.2
» CPF 2011-001US:The required new element <superCool> was added
within the element <pmStatus>.
IN-WORK
130

• Your CPF cannot progress to “Pending Approval” without the following:
– Complete chapter text
• Any changes to existing text or the addition of new text (included in the
white paper)
– Agreed finalized solution(s)
– All comments have been addressed, resolved, and tracked in the white paper
– Schema Proposal Form (SPF) (approved by the Electronic Publication
Working Group (EPWG))
– Bike Sample(s)
• The Bike samples are S1000D data modules that contain representative
examples for actual use of many S1000D elements and attributes
• Contained in the SPF unless there are significant changes or the Data
Module (DM) is new, then it must be a separate document
IN-WORK
131

PENDING APPROVAL
• The white paper now includes:
– All agreed solutions
– All chapter text for each affected chapter
– All resolved comments
• Attachments also include, if applicable:
– Schema changes (Electronic Publication Working Group (EPWG)-approved
Schema Proposal Form (SPF))
– Bike sample(s) changes
– BREX changes
• This is now considered a complete package
132

APPROVED
• Change Proposal Form (CPF) work is complete
– Review Schema and affected chapters to verify changes were incorporated as
intended
• CPF author is required to be a part of the chapter authoring team for the
next issue for all affected chapters
