  1. S1000D Converter Mike Day Rolls-Royce Defence Aerospace Mike.Day@Rolls-Royce.com

  2. Background • Action at Starnberg Meeting to produce a conversion program to convert 1.9 Data Modules to Issue 002 standard. • Program is now in the test stage. In order to test it, we are looking for volunteers in S1000D community… • A specification created documenting mappings required.

  3. The Solution - Overview SGML Data Module Data Module S1000D Converter XML Data Module

  4. The Solution - For Anoraks XSL Stylesheet Auto-detect incoming DTD / Schema standard SGML Data Module Global Changes Data Module S1000D Converter XML Data Module Tag Options Project Attribute Map XML Character Map Public Identifier Catalog

  5. The Solution • A multi-directional converter has been produced that is capable of converting 1.8, 1.8.1 and 1.9 data modules into Issue 002. Thus, we can convert 1.8 into 2.0 or 2.0 into 1.8! • Although backwards conversion is not always possible without data loss, this will prove a useful feature. Why?...

  6. Engines go into many “darts”

  7. Why Backwards Conversion? • Take the example of the RTM322 engine. • This powers Merlin (1.6 DTD), Support (1.6.1 DTD), Apache (1.8 DTD) and NH90 (1.8.1). In order to share common data, we have to convert backwards and forwards.

  8. Additional Features • Conversion to SGML / XML at all standards • Ability to apply global mark-up changes such as • Issue number • Inwork attribute • QA status • Issue Date • Reason for update • Others? • Able to specify Issue 2 Projectised Attributes I.a.w. Swedish CPF • Conversion to Upper/Lower/Sentence case Element names and attribute names

  9. Limitations • Data loss on backwards conversion • Data Modules MUST be normalised before conversion (end tag for every non-empty start tag) • Data Modules MUST parse against the DTD

  10. Problems Found in Converting to 2.0 Converted mark-up no longer parses as warning is NOT allowed after a <para> <step1> <para> Some text </para> <specpara> <warning> <para>WARNING TEXT</para> </warning> <para> Text warning applies to</para> </specpara> </step1> <step1> <para> Some text </para> <warning> <para>WARNING TEXT</para> </warning> <para> Text warning applies to</para> </step1> As specpara is no longer in DTD 2.0, you can no longer tie a WCN to the para it relates

  11. Continuing Work • Test in AECMA / AIA Community • Fix bugs and implement improvements from test • Implement any DTD / Schema changes • Release • Improve “backwards” conversions

  12. Let’s watch some paint dry!
