Content Data Model (CDM) and Improved Technical Data System (ITDS) compatibility Analysis

Abstract

This document examined the potential for compatibility between two developing specifications for the description and exchange of digital technical maintenance information. The comparison analysis performed was a continuation of and effort directed toward the development of specifications for future automated information processing capabilities. The two specifications include the Content Data Model (CDM), being developed by the Air Force Human Resources Laboratory (AFHRL) with assistance provided by RJO Enterprises, Incorporated, and the Improved Technical Data System (ITDS), which is being developed by Northrop Corporation. Both the CDM and ITDS use the Standard Generalized Mark-Up Language (SGML) ISO 8879-1987 to 'tag' and identify technical maintenance information. SGML data indentification is used to support the delivery of technical data in accordance with Military Specifications. Each system provides support for both the electronic presentation of technical data and the production of paper documents.
