S1000D
IETM

Kevin Spink spent 23 years with British Army Aviation, serving operationally throughout the world.  Kevin has worked with Boeing Defence Australia since 2004 carrying out various specialist roles in the area of Technical Publications, including AEW&C Ground Support Senior Technical Writer and the AEW&C Systems and Quality Co-ordinator.  Kevin has recently assumed the position of Boeing Defence Australia’s Technical Data Manager.

About Kevin’s Presentation:

One of the claims of S1000D is that it can be easily applied to legacy data.  Recently a small team from Boeing Defence Australia have been involved in a Scoping Study to determine the feasibility of converting ATA iSpec 2200 manuals to S1000D. 

This insightful presentation describes the real time approach taken by this team to convert over 8,000 individual maintenance tasks contained in 26,000 pages of an ATA iSpec 2200 Aircraft Maintenance Manual to S1000D.

The presentation will highlight both the similarities and the differences between the S1000D and ATA iSpec structured data including the break out of chunks of ATA data into Data Modules, the re-usability of those Data Modules, the creation of the DMRL, the assignment of DMCs and the mapping of the ATA Data to the S1000D Procedural Schemas.

About Tim’s Presentation

Effective and efficient decision making is the fundamental business capability that drives the requirement for information interoperability and integration.

This interoperability and integration is more extensive if underpinned by open, neutral standards. Such standards include STEP and PLCS for engineering data (ISO 10303) and ASD S1000D for technical documentation.

These standards have been the subject of extensive investment and support from the UK Defence enterprise, within both the MOD and Industry.

The Defence enterprise is now ready to take full advantage of the standards and has built an understanding of how to address the associated practical issues through early examples of implementation.

These examples have already begun to demonstrate the achievability of the promised business benefits. These benefits will grow as implementation becomes more widespread.
