Technical publication transfer test with McDonnell Aircraft Company: MIL-M-28001 (SGML) and MIL-D-28000 Class 1 (IGES)
The CALS Test Network (CTN) conducted a CTN Planned Test (CPT) of several CALS standards related to the transfer of technical publication data: MIL-STD-1840A (1840A), MIL-D-28000 Class I (28000), MIL-M-28001 (28001), and MIL-D-28003 (28003). The test was conducted with the McDonnell Aircraft Company (CMAIR) of St. Louis, Missouri in accordance with part one of CTN Test Plan CTN89-TM-06 and using material from an F-15E technical manual. One focus of the test was the transfer of a moderately large volume of technical publication data. There were 9 text files, 74 Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES) files, and 74 Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) files in the exchange package. A noteworthy feature of the test was its early attempt to exchange CGM data. Part one of CTN89-TM-06 called for technical publication data to be output from MCAIR's Xyvision system on 9-track magnetic tape. The data was to be in accordance with the 28001 subset of the Standard Generalized Mark-up Language (SGML) and the 28001 Document Type Definition (DTD) that conformed to MIL-M-38784B, the general style and format requirements for technical manuals. Technical illustrations in the manual were to be done in accordance with 28000 Class I (IGES) and 28003 (CGM). Part two of the test called for the test tape to be read into another technical publication system where the text would be modified and the vector illustrations would all be converted to raster, in accordance with MIL-R-28002. This part of the test is not covered in this report.
