Text Standard Generalized Markup Language. Automated Technical Order System (ATOS).
Abstract
A tagging scheme generally conforming to the standard Generalized Markup Language has developed to identify the data elements which direct text data formats for publications being processed through automated text processing systems. Subsequently, the tagging scheme was minimized and tailored for processing through the Automated Technical Order System (ATOS). The markup tags described herein are based on rules outline in the Information Processing - Text and Office Systems - Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) Standard - ISO/DIS 8879. In addition, processing of these tags produces technical publications that conform to the format requirements detailed in various military specfications. This report discusses, in detail, each markup tag as well as provides sample input text files and composed output. SGML outlines a metalanguage for use in document structure identification. The standard is not in itself a tagging scheme, but rather a methodology for creating tagging schemes suited to individual applications . It was this standard which guided the creation of a tagging scheme to identify the elements in specific military documents. The tags were chosen on the basis of familiarity to the end user, based upon standard military abbreviations. The main result which: (1) brings concepts through a content analysis to determine their structure; (2) identifies then with an organized taggign scheme; (3) provides a metalanguage for tagging interpretation; and (4) govern data exchange.
