S1000D Schemas for Issues 1.9 through 6

A screenshot from the S1000D BRDP Reference Book for Issues 1.9 through 6, by the author.

One of the first decisions you make when implementing S1000D is which types of data modules or other CSDB objects a project is going to create, maintain, and work with. In other words, it is the “BRDP-S1-00006 — Schemas to be used.” The decision on this Business Rule Decision Point (BRDP) might even affect the very first decision point S1000D implementors consider: “BRDP-S1-00003 — Issue of S1000D to be used.”

For the convenience of users of my book, S1000D BRDP Reference Book for Issues 1.9 through 6, I have compiled the list of XML Schemas created over the years, starting with Issue 1.9 and continuing up to Issue 6. This list can support you in decision-making when choosing S1000D Schemas for your implementation of this specification. Please share it with your colleagues so that they can benefit from this tool, too.

Here is an excerpt from the book that provides you with this list, preceded by some introductory words.

You can find the short titles and their complete titles, as well as two additional mappings — Schemas versus S1000D Issues and S1000D Issues versus Schemas.

Please note that some of the Schemas have changed in structure over the years and have gotten new names. In those cases where the original name differed from its current name, I added these original names in brackets for each “affected” Schema or Issue.

Examples:

fault — Issues 1.9 (airfault), 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.0, 4.0.1, 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, 6

Issue 2.3 — brex, comment, comrep (techrep), condcrossreftable (techcondcrossreftable), container, crew, ddn, descript, dml, fault, ipd, pm, prdcrossreftable, proced, process, schedul, wrngdata, wrngflds
