The Content Data Model
Abstract
Due to the increasing complexity and number of modern weapon systems, the Air Force faces an ever growing number of paper-based technical orders. The Air Force Armstrong Laboratory, Logistics Research Division has conducted research and development of automated technical information systems. This research investigated technologies for the storage, distribution, and presentation of technical information. Benefits of this research will include improvement of performance of maintenance personnel and reduction in the cost of maintaining Air Force technical information. One of the products of this research includes a technology which provides the Air Force with an economical way of storing technical data. The Content Data Model (CDM) is a specification for a data base which is intended to store all of the technical information for a weapon system. The CDM will facilitate the interchange of technical information contained in Air Force technical orders. This paper presents: (a) a description of the characteristics of the CDM, (b) a detailed description of CDM structure, (c) an explanation of the functionality that CDM data supports, and (d) a description of testing and implementation of the CDM concept.
