About S1000D.orgS1000D, “International specification for technical publications using a common source database”, is an international specification for the production of technical publications. Since its inception over 30 years ago, S1000D has grown to where it is now used widely around the world. Currently, its uses include:* Defense systems – including land, sea, and air products* Civil aviation products* Construction industry products* Ship industry productsAlthough the title emphasizes its use for technical publications, application of the specification to non-technical publications is also possible and can be very beneficial to businesses requiring processes and controls...With Issue 2, the scope of S1000D was extended to include land and sea specific applications. The specification continues to evolve and now supports:* any type of equipment (including both military and civil products)* publication* construction* policy procedures* legal documentation* organizational documentation* and more…S1000D.orgS1KDO_689520c4-c708-11ec-9b0d-39162883ea00S1000D Council and Steering CommitteeThis specification was initially developed by the AeroSpace and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD).
