S1000D XML Conversion Services

The S1000D standard is a global specification for technical documentation, widely adopted in the aerospace, defence, and automobile industry. It provides a standardized approach for creating, managing, and converting the technical data, ensuring consistency and reliability. Converting technical data to the S1000D standard requires a methodical approach to structuring, organizing, and delivering complex technical information.

Once the content has been mapped and the Data Module Specification (DMS) is established, the next step is to convert the data into XML format. The S1000D standard employs XML schemas to define document structure.

XML tools or S1000D-compliant authoring software are often used to automate much of the conversion process. These tools streamline the tagging of content and ensure that the final document fully complies with S1000D standards.

S1000D Standard

S1000D is an international standard for creating, storing, managing, and delivering technical publications data within the civilian and Aerospace & Defense (A&D) industry. The building blocks of an S1000D publication are known as Data Modules. These modules control and contain text, illustrations, tables, charts, multimedia, and more. The same data can be reused across various technical documents. Data module XML files are stored in a Common Source Database (CSDB), and the output is published as Interactive Electronic Technical Publications (IETPs).

S1000D XML Conversion Process

Our specialized software converts legacy documents in any format to the S1000D XML format. During the conversion process, we can identify and tag the following elements of the document: Titles, Graphics, Charts, Tables, Hyperlinks. After conversion, the document undergoes proofreading to ensure it is error-free. Based on customer requirements, larger volumes of data can be broken down into smaller Data Modules. Throughout the entire process, we ensure your data confidentiality is maintained.

Our process is ITAR compliant , ensuring strict adherence to regulatory requirements for handling sensitive data.
