Full Description

Show more
The work will consist of approximately 196 Technical Manuals to be converted from SGML-tagged files to XML-tagged files following the S1000D Version 4.1 data module specifications. This amounts to approximately 101,000 pages in the current paper format. Additionally, approximately 60,000 illustrations will require conversion from current format (CALS, GIF, PDF, TIFF, JPEG, etc.) to a standard CGM format. This effort will result in approximately 50,000 Data Modules. All data must be developed using a structured System, Sub System, Sub-Sub-System Numbering (SSSN) schema using MIL-STD-1808. The C-5M Work Unit Code Manual will require an update to include a reference for all SSSN codes to link to their respective Work Unit Codes. Approximately 450 C-5M S1000D Project Business Rules will be used, and if changed during the program, the contractor will be required to update the Business Rules. After verification of the data contained in each Data Module, the entire database will be required to be validated against a contractor-developed Business Rules Exchange (BREX) Data Module to ensure all Project Business Rules are met and the overall work meets all Functionality Matrix requirements.
