RFI for B-52 Technical Order conversion S1000D

The work will consist of approximately 355 Technical Manuals to be converted to a SNS/SSSN data base to support the conversion of the SGML-tagged files to XML-tagged files following the S1000D Version 4.1 data module specifications. This amounts to approximately 120,000 pages in the current formats. Additionally, approximately 40,000 illustrations will require conversion from current format (SVG, GGM, CALS, GIF, PDF, TIFF, JPEG, etc.) to a standard SVG format.

This effort will result in approximately 15,000 Data Modules. All data must be developed using a structured System, Sub-System, Sub-Sub-System Numbering (SSSN) schema and updating the Technical Manual numbering using MIL-STD-1808. The B-52 Work Unit Code Manual will require an update to include a reference for all SSSN codes to link to their respective Work Unit Codes.

Approximately 640 B-52 S1000D Project Business Rules will be used, and if changed during the program, the contractor will be required to update the Business Rules. After verification of the data contained in each Data Module, the entire database will be required to be validated against a contractor-developed Business Rules Exchange (BREX) Data Module to ensure all Project Business Rules are met and the overall work meets all Functionality Matrix requirements.
