S1000D Issue 4.1 Untangled: 552+ Business Rules Decision Points Arranged into a Linear Topic Map to Facilitate Learning, Understanding and Implementation of S1000D (ePub)

S1000D has become the preferred technical standard for complex technical publications. It is utilized globally, both geographically and across the landscape of products and industries. Both the defense and civil sectors widely implement it for products ranging from small hand-held devices to those that fly, float or move on land. Among the currently available Issues of S1000D, Issue 4.1 is the most frequently recommended, having embraced and implemented requirements for all types of industries.

The frequency with which S1000D is updated, along with the requirement to lower the cost of products in general (and specifically technical publications), have resulted in a pressure to accelerate S1000D implementation. In order to do this S1000D users, new and seasoned, must learn quickly and be given access to requisite information regarding its implementation.

This resource offers a novel approach to how information on the Specification is usually structured. It orders various Business Rules Decision Points (BRDP) (both those defined by S1000D and new ones added in this book), into a linear BRDP chain, to provide a linear topic map with clearly emerging associations and occurrences.

This resource can be used:

(*) To navigate the Specification while learning to work with it;

(*) To find references on your topic of interest;

(*) To navigate the Business Rules Decision Points Index in a common and logical order;

(*) As a first draft Table of Contents for a S1000D implementation map for your project or organization;

(*) As a checklist for your project or organization on what parts of S1000D to implement or not;

(*) As an easily-editable and sharable to-do-list to implement your project;

(*) As a logic or algorithm to feed into a software tool and generate business rules documentation;

(*) And more.
