D8.0 TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION STANDARDS AND APPLICATION PROFILES

D8.1 Character Sets and International Codes
The NATO base standard for information processing is the internationally agreed reference for Latin-based languages (ISO 646) which defines the ASCII compatible binary representation of English alpha-numeric characters, a range of punctuation symbols, and four special control characters (space, tab, and the line/record start and end codes.

It can be easily modified for use with other Latin-based languages. Representation of languages, country names, currencies, dates/times, and the units of measurement should also be specified using the appropriate ISO standards.

D8.2 Information Processing
In order to share and reuse the information in documents across software applications and across computing platforms the preferred system is based on a Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). SGML document elements can contain text and data in ISO 646 format, graphics in CGM format, Computer Aided Design (CAD) Data in IGES format, images in ISO 8613 raster graphics format, spreadsheets and video/voice.

ISO 8879 does not contain a document presentation standard and Document Style Semantics and Specification Language (DSSSL)(DIS 10179) is intended to remedy this in the near future. MIL-M-28001 Appendix B contains a Format Outputting Specification Instance (FOSI) which can be used temporarily as an interim standard. Any application that generates a page image format can use Standard Page Description Language (SPDL) including SGML/DSSSL and ODA.

D8.3 Graphics and Illustrations
Graphics and Illustrations requiring two dimensional vector presentation in technical manuals - such as graphs, charts, simple figures and line drawings - should be specified in Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) format.

CGM provides for the interchange of processable, digital, 2-D graphics data through a Metafile format which can be created independently of device requirements and translated into the formats required by output devices, graphics, and computer systems.

D8.4 Product Data
The exchange of technical 2-D and 3-D drawings, documentation, and other data required for product design and manufacturing, including geometric and non-geometric data such as form features, tolerances, material properties, and surfaces and the information typically associated with Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) should be described in international standards terms. Currently the Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES) should be used. IGES will eventually be replaced by STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data) which will be capable of representing product data throughout its life-cycle and of specifying file exchange. STEP is the informal name for ISO 10303 which is likely to be adopted for NATO usage.

D8.5 Images
Non-processable, optically scanned drawings and documents should be specified using raster graphics interchange standards. These were developed initially for digital facsimile over Integrated Services Digital Networks (ISDN). Two forms of raster data may be specified: Type I (untiled) and Type II (tiled).

Type II (tiled) is the preferred format. A tiled raster image resembles a two-dimensional grid with each "tile" or set of pixels representing a portion of the image.

Text and graphics in raster data formats allow a rapid and consistent access to stored images and are suitable for electronic transmission. Raster files can also be converted to digital documents for work processing or desktop publishing and edited through manipulation of individual pixels.

A number of standards exist which are not CALS-specific.

Multi-media applications may specify the inclusion of Video and Motion Picture files or still images derived from moving pictures. Such specifications, together with legacy data migration strategies, will also need to include appropriate reference to the acceptable data compression standards.

D8.8 Digital Audio
Multi-media applications may specify the inclusion of Audio files but to date there is no internationally accepted standard for digital audio specification.

Note: The Policy and applicable standards for NATO Audio usage have not yet been determined.

D8.9 Hypermedia and Multimedia
The HyTime standard, which is built on SGML, is used to create relational links between objects (text, graphics, audio, video, etc). The objects are then linked in a document or between documents so as become accessible within a computer system.

D8.10 Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals
An Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (IETM) is a technical manual (e.g., maintenance, user, training, operations, etc) prepared (authored) in digital form on a suitable medium, by means of an automated authoring system, designed for electronic screen display to an end-user, and possessing the following characteristics:

· The format and style of the presented information are optimized for screen presentation to ensure maximum comprehension; that is, the presentation format is "frame-oriented" and not "page-oriented."

· The elements of technical information constituting the technical manual are so interrelated that a user's access to the required information is facilitated to the greatest possible extent and is achievable by a variety of paths.

· Display devices, including personal computers and portable "laptop" devices can function interactively (as a result of user requests and information input) in providing procedural guidance, navigation directions, and supplemental information.

· Screen presentations can include material derived from data stored in textual, graphical, audio, or video form in a relational database which is composed of logically connected, bud randomly accessible IETM data elements.
