| The
S1000D standard grew out of the
aerospace and defense industry where it was developed as a process
for managing the large amounts of complex documentation associated
with major engineering driven products such as planes, tanks and
ships. Over the lat few years the ideas and concepts of S1000D are
starting to be adopted by other industries who need to support
complex pieces of equipment or process.
S1000D is based on the concept of small self-contained Data Modules that can be stored and controlled in a central database then used as building blocks to deliver information in a variety of formats. 4J's Group has been involved in S1000D and its predecessors since its inception and would be happy to assist you decide if S1000D is a fit for your publishing needs, or help you with new projects that may mandate the use of S1000D.

Information Typing Architecture (DITA) is the hottest and
fastest growing trend in Corporate Publishing. Backed by the OASIS
standards group it is the ideal solution for software and
process documentation. It can also be applied to hardware and
engineering documentation, especially where delivery in a variety of
formats is required.
DITA is based on the concept of Topic Based Authoring and the use of XML and Content Management (CM) tools to produce structured content that can be reused and repurposed. 4J's Group has been involved in the production of structured content using XML and CM for many years. We are also members of the Central Texas DITA Group, and would be happy to assist you decide if DITA is a fit for your publishing needs. Contact us for more information.

Technical English (STE) is a "Controlled Language"
originally developed in the Aerospace industry and now being widely
adopted across a broad range of industries, service organizations
and even governmental departments. Designed on the philosophy of
"one word = one meaning" it helps makes documentation
easier to understand while increasing consistency and quality. As a
side benefit it also reduces translation costs.
4J's Group staff have been involved in the development of STE since its inception and can assist you with adoption strategies, tool selection, and training. Contact us for more information. |
