NAME
s1kd-tools - Tools for S1000D data
DESCRIPTION
S1000D
S1000D is "an international specification for the procurement and pro‐
duction of technical publications", part of the S-Series of ILS speci‐
fications. The main focus of S1000D is the breakdown and classifica‐
tion of documents in to individual components, called "data modules",
which can be re-used in multiple publications. These data modules are
typically authored using a set of provided XML schemas, allowing them
to be automatically managed in a Common Source Database (CSDB) and val‐
idated against a defined set of project "business rules".
s1kd-tools
The s1kd-tools are a set of small tools for creating and manipulating
S1000D data. They are designed to be used as a standalone method of
maintaining a simple S1000D CSDB, in conjunction with a more typical
version control system such as Git or SVN, as a backend to implement a
more complex S1000D CSDB, or to support an existing S1000D CSDB already
in use by a project.
CSDB
Common Source Databases can be implemented in any number of ways. For
the purposes of the s1kd-tools, the CSDB is simply a directory within a
filesystem. Use of the "File-based transfer" file naming conventions
in Chap 7 of the S1000D specification are recommended, and most of the
tools will use these conventions when creating or listing CSDB objects
represented by files. In order to use these tools in conjuction with
other implementations of CSDBs, a project can make use of "transfer
packages" also described in Chap 7 to facilitate interchange between
the two kinds of CSDB.
Relationship to the S1000D process
The s1kd-tools can support multiple parts of the basic S1000D process:
1. Generation: The generation of new CSDB objects is supported by the
s1kd-dmrl tool and the s1kd-new* set of tools. These provide two
methods of creating objects, either using a data management require‐
ments list (DMRL) or a more on-the-fly approach using the s1kd-new*
tools directly.
The s1kd-defaults tool is used to manage the files which contain
default metadata for new CSDB objects.
2. Authoring: These tools support the authoring process.
The s1kd-addicn tool creates the notation and entity elements to
reference an ICN in a data module.
The s1kd-ls tool lists data modules within a directory.
The s1kd-metadata tool lists and edits S1000D metadata on CSDB ob‐
jects.
The s1kd-mvref tool changes references to one object into refer‐
ences to another.
The s1kd-ref tool can be used to quickly insert references to other
CSDB objects.
The s1kd-sns tool can be used to organize the CSDB using a given
SNS structure.
The s1kd-upissue tool moves CSDB objects through the standard
S1000D workflow, between "inwork" (draft) and "official" states.
3. Validation: These tools all validate different aspects of CSDB ob‐
jects.
The s1kd-appcheck tool validates the applicability of CSDB objects.
The s1kd-brexcheck tool validates CSDB objects against a business
rules exchange (BREX) data module, which contains the project-de‐
fined computable business rules.
The s1kd-refs tool lists references in a CSDB object to generate a
list of dependencies on other CSDB objects.
The s1kd-repcheck tool validates CIR references in CSDB objects.
The s1kd-validate tool validates CSDB objects according to their
S1000D schema and general correctness as XML documents.
4. Publication: These tools support the production of publications from
a CSDB.
The s1kd-acronyms tool can automatically mark up acronyms within
data modules, and can also generate lists of acronyms marked up
within data modules.
The s1kd-aspp tool preprocesses applicability statements in a data
module, generating display text and "presentation" applicability
statements.
The s1kd-flatten tool flattens a publication module and referenced
data modules in to a single "deliverable" file for a publishing
system.
The s1kd-fmgen tool generates front matter data module content from
a publication module.
The s1kd-icncatalog tool resolves ICN references in objects.
The s1kd-index tool flags index keywords in a data module based on
a user-defined list.
The s1kd-instance tool produces "instances" of CSDB objects using
applicability filtering and/or common information repositories
(CIRs).
The s1kd-neutralize tool generates IETP neutral metadata for CSDB
objects.
The s1kd-syncrefs tool generates the References table within data
modules.
The s1kd-uom tool converts units of measure used in data modules.
