MIL-STD-2361 Digital Publications DevelopmentThis standard establishes the Extensible Markup Language XML requirements for digital development, acquisition, and delivery of Army administrative and technical and equipment publications. The requirements for technical and equipment publications include the development, acquisition, and delivery requirements for Electronic and Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals ETM/IETM. Further, this standard establishes the Standard Generalized Markup Language SGML requirements for digital development, acquisition, and delivery of Army training and doctrine publications. Designated appendices of this standard contain references to, and access instructions for, the Document Type Definitions DTD and Tag Description Lists for the development of Army publications in conjunction with the respective functional requirements documents. Data prepared in conformance to these requirements will facilitate the automated storage, retrieval, interchange, and processing of publications from heterogeneous data sources.

1.3.2 Type 2 data fles. Type 2 data fles are for Army publications conforming to functional standards other than those listed in Table I, and for which DTDs have not been approved. It is anticipated that in the future, additional DTDs and style sheets will be approved and added to this standard.

1.4 Application guidance. This standard, MIL-STD-2361, applies to all acquisitions for, and development or conversion of, Army Publications, including development of new publications and application of SGML/XML legacy (existing) publications requiring SGML/XML applications. Assistance in application and implementation of MIL-STD-2361 SGML/XML can be obtained from the Army SGML/XML Registry

and Library (ASRL), (URL) h tt p ://www.as rl.com .

1.4.1 Application of SGML/XML to Legacy Publication. Refer inquiries regarding legacy data applications to the ASRL. (See Appendices A, B, C, D, or E).

1.4.2 Army SGML/XML Registry and Library. The ASRL will be the repository for all Army SGML/XML objects and constructs approved for Army use. SGML/XML objects are elements, entities, attributes of elements, public identifers, notations, and standard tagging schemas. SGML/XML objects and constructs are DTDs, style sheets, XSLs, and schemas. Army-wide standardization of SGML/XML objects and constructs facilitates reuse of data, reduces DTD development time, and allows more effcient source fle tagging by using familiar markup rules. Administrative, training and doctrine, and technical and equipment publication SGML/XML objects and constructs will be maintained in, and obtained from, the ASRL. Access addresses for the ASRL are:

a. World Wide Web (WWW): ASRL homepage Uniform Resource Locator (URL) h tt p ://www.as rl.com . b. U.S. Mail: Requested fles will be mailed on CD-ROM in DOS or UNIX tar format. Requests

1.4.3 SGML/XML. SGML/XML applications applied pursuant to this standard, describes the logical structure and content of documents; assures automated quality control over adherence to that structure and content; provides for delivery and storage of publication text in an easily maintained and updatable form; and provides for vendor, software, and platform independence. More detail regarding SGML/XML

applications and requirements is provided in paragraph 4.4. Additional background information can be found in, MIL-PRF-28001, Markup Requirements and Generic Style Specifcation for Exchange of Text and Its Presentation, MIL-PRF-28000, Digital Representation for Communication of Product Data: IGES Application Subsets and IGES Application Protocols and MIL-HDBK-28001, Department Of Defense Application of Using Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML).
