ASD STAN

The Association européenne des constructeurs de matériel Aérospatial ( AECMA ) later "The European Association of Aerospace Industries " was an interest group of the European aerospace industry, whose roots are founded in 1950, " International Association of constructeurs de matériel Aérospatial AICMA " result. The term " AECMA " is today often synonymous with those developed by this organization specifications " AECMA Spec 1000D " and " AECMA Spec 2000M ".

History

The AECMA SPEC 1000D, all referred to in the following S1000D is an international specification for technical publications utilizing a Common Source Data Base ( CSDB ). Objective it was going to multinational arms projects to develop a unified documentation standard that allows a modular and distributed creation of the necessary technical documentation. Parallel to this was the AECMA SPEC 2000M, INTERNATIONAL SPECIFICATION FOR MATERIEL MANAGEMENT, INTEGRATED DATA PROCESSING FOR MILITARY EQUIPMENT. It is solely for the military sector in Europe of interest. The S 1000D wins, however, the world is becoming increasingly important. As of release 2.0, the S1000D has been together since 2003, published by the AECMA and the AIA, the Aerospace Industries of America.

The AECMA has in 2004 with two other European aviation organizations ( EDIG and EUROSPACE ) for ASD, the Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe united. So today is the co-editor of ASD S1000D. Since 2005, the ATA, the Air Transport Association, has the S connected via a MoU (Memorandum of Understanding ) 1000D bodies. The aim is in future only to have a uniform standard for technical documentation in the field of aerospace and defense. With the release of Version 2.3 of 28 February 2007, the ATA occurs the first time as co-editor. The ASD AIA S1000D ATA exists in various versions ( 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.0, 4.0, 4.1) and is maintained by the TPSMG, the Technical Publications Specification Maintenance Group. It is a " living document ", anyone can participate by amendments to the future version.

Use

Companies and organizations that use the S1000D can be sent to the TPSMG improvement and supplement suggestions. If a proposal is accepted, it usually finds its way into a future issue of the specification. The S1000D was originally used primarily in the area of ​​military documentation, but their methods are equally applicable to civilian projects. Originally designed only for aircraft / systems, it covers the release 2.0 also all other possible documentation projects from such land vehicles, such as armored vehicles, and marine vessels, such as frigates. First civil applications of S 1000D made ​​at the South African Railways and at Lloyd's register of shipping in London. The decision of the Boeing and Airbus companies on the application of S1000D in their new models B -787 "Dreamliner" and A-350 can be seen as a breakthrough for the civilian sector.

The current developments in the field of S 1000D will be presented at the regularly scheduled user forums. The last event took place in spring 2007 in Melbourne, Australia. Here, a thematic focus was the connection of technical documentation for the field of distance learning or e-learning on ADL and SCORM. The S1000D structured documentation of systems according to their system architecture into subsystems and components ( devices start ) using an absorbed. "Standard Numbering System " (SNS ).

Modules

A documentation according to S1000D consists of data modules ( data modules), which are originally generated using the markup language SGML, version 1.9 also in XML and redundancies stored in the CSDB. Each part of the system to be documented defined as a subsystem or component of equipment departure are clearly assigned to defined modules. For this purpose, the specification (currently 14) different basic document types using appropriate SGML DTDs or XML Schemas ready, including:

  • Descriptive DTD for description
  • Procedural DTD for instruction sequences, such as in maintenance manuals
  • Schedule DTD, eg for inspection manuals

Each S1000D data module is uniquely identified by a " Data Module Code" (DMC) and can be managed in the CSDB. The DMC is a 17 - to 37 -digit alphanumeric code and is a mandatory part of the meta- data of each module. The DMC is composed according to the rules of the S 1000D, identified by the "Model Identification Code (MIC ) " clearly affected the project and reflects both the nature of the content / activity (eg the installation instructions), the affected part system ( eg main hydraulic ) and many others resist. ( Example of a data module codes: "AE -A -00 -00- 0000- 00A - 021A -A" )
