Abstract:
The S1000D specification is developed as the standard format to describe technical publications in aerospace and military field. The S1000D supports systematically classifying technical information about various equipments in XML format. Most technical information about equipments contains procedural information about installation, operation, and maintenance. The procedural information can be effectively described using graphical description methods rather than using textual description like XML. Also, In UML, activity diagrams can be used to describe the business and operation step-by-step workflows. In the S1000D, there are many types of data modules and procedural data modules regarding procedural information. In this paper, we propose an approach to authoring S1000D procedural data modules using UML.
