   | 
 
 
   | 
  Core Requirements | 
 
 
   | 
  Convert Technical Manuals into IETMs | 
 
 
   | 
  Allow for Annotations to the IETMs | 
 
 
   | 
  Quality Control | 
 
 
   | 
  Additional Requirements | 
 
 
   | 
  Know thy user (ease of use). | 
 
 
   | 
  Networked PC capable of running the
  required software | 
 
 
   | 
  Adequate storage space.  IETMs can get rather large. | 
 
 
   | 
  Version Control System (special thanks
  to Workflow) | 
 
 
   | 
  System modularity | 
 
 
   | 
  The network should be both reliable and
  secure |

   | 
  Dependencies and What We Will Provide | 
 
 
   | 
  Workflow, Workflow, Workflow. | 
 
 
   | 
  We will provide IETMs and a means by
  which to view them. | 
 
 
   | 
  Access to the IETMs will be achieved
  through Workflow’s Database. | 
 
 
   | 
  Other Issues | 
 
 
   | 
  AIMSS 4.0 and ACS are not compatible. | 
 
 
   | 
  We’re still looking for new OCR
  software that provides the same functionality as ACS. | 
 
Summary
 
   | 
   | 
 
 
   | 
  The Authoring Subsystem will provide a
  means to convert a Technical Manual into an IETM. | 
 
 
   | 
  The system will be usable by those
  without training specific to the Technical Manuals or the existing authoring
  process. | 
 
Now, it’s time for your…
