What is S1000D™?
S1000D™ is an international specification for technical publications that utilizes a Common Source Database. It was originally introduced to the European community by the Association Européenne des Constructeurs de Matériel Aérospatial (AECMA), representing the aerospace industry.
By definition: “S1000D™ is an international specification for the procurement and production of technical publications.” While this definition appears to restrict its use to technical publications, it has been found through application that the principles of the specification can also be applied to non-technical publications.
Today, the S1000D™ standard is supported by the successor to AECMA, the AeroSpace and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD) and the Aerospace Industries Association of America (AIA), and is controlled by the Steering Committee (SC), which has the full responsibility of maintaining the specification. The SC includes members from both government agencies and industry. To address the rapid development of information technology, a group of specialists, the Electronic Publications Working Group (EPWG), supports the SC in technical matters.
CDG offers S1000D™ support services to help your organization take advantage of the benefits offered by this standard.
