dita-s1000d-discuss message

This was the question I was waiting for. I too am interested in the use of S1000D for MRO on commercial aircraft. If there is enough interest here, then I am in.

The question I would ask is what platform has a military derivative that uses S1000D and DITA data? Do any of the 7X7 commercial aircraft in this scenario?

To respond to Scott's solicitation below, I was taking the 3rd approach by suggesting that we develop some realistic interoperability scenarios first (see http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita-s1000d-discuss/200701/msg00002.html). I think that anything we do here should be driven by the real use cases that would bring business value to the industry, not by the wants of a group of IT professionals. For example, we need to ask ourselves this question: "What is the real use cases (and the associated business value) for making provisions for the round-trip (content interchange) between DITA and S1000D?"

Thanks, Chet!

I also want to make provisions for the round-trip. I'm not sure if the DITA SC could extend it's scope to include producing a transform to take DITA content to an S1000D-compatible form? (then again, if it is specified in the charter, perhaps it could)

Thoughts?
