Chapter 3.1 - Information generation - Introduction
Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe

GENERAL


This chapter provides an introduction to the chapters that describe how
information is generated in an S1000D project.



CONTENT


Information required to support the Product must be produced, as
discrete pieces of information called data modules, and stored in a CSDB
as described in Chapter 4.2 - Information management - Common source
database.

This chapter provides general rules, which apply to technical
information produced in that manner.

All data modules have a basic structure which is fully defined in
Chapter 3.2 - Information generation - Data modules.

Information sets are used to establish the required scope of the
information and data module coding strategy. The use of information sets
is fully defined in Chapter 3.3 - Information generation - Information
sets. Depth of information is defined as a combination of the breakdown
(as represented by the SNS and disassembly code and described in Chapter
4.3.3 - Data module code - Standard numbering system and Chapter 4.3.4 -
Data module code - Disassembly code) and the requirements of the Product
maintenance policy.

For the purposes of dividing of the Product into zones for maintenance
and detailing access, the rules are given in Chapter 3.4 - Information
generation - Zoning and access.

The issues surrounding the updating of data modules are explained in
Chapter 3.5 - Information generation - Updating data modules.

The rules for the allocation for the protective marking of data modules
that reflects their security classification, etc are detailed in Chapter
3.6 - Information generation - Security and data restrictions.

During the development and update of data modules/publications, QA
procedures are required to ensure that the contents of the data modules
are adequate and technically accurate. Details of these procedures are
given in Chapter 3.7 - Information generation - Quality assurance.

Data modules must reflect the breakdown of the Product. The initial
breakdown is described by the SNS. Further disassembly is then as
detailed in Chapter 3.8 - Information generation - Disassembly
principles.

All data modules are produced in accordance with structural rules. These
are reinforced by writing and illustration rules, together with front
matter and warnings, cautions and notes. The rules are supported by
specific guidance for authoring data modules. These rules are given in
Chapter 3.9 - Information generation - Authoring.
