MIL-STD-2361C
4.4.5.1 SGML/XML Tagging. There are generally two methods used in SGML/XML to tag documents: structure tagging and content tagging. The method applied to a particular application will depend on the tagging organizations' goals and the applications for which the information is created. Departmental media developed or acquired, in accordance with this standard, shall be tagged in accordance with the requirements contained in this standard and the requirements of the tagging organization implementation guidance.
a. Structure tagging.Structure tagging is used to model and encode publications information according to the structure or format of a document or class of documents. Structure tagging is included as part of the tagging conventions of this standard and shall be used in conjunction with content tagging, to the maximum extent possible, for the acquisition and development of publications.
b. Content tagging.Content tagging is the cornerstone of the MIL-STD-2361 philosophy for data reuse and sharing. Content tagging shall be used to identify document components by the functional nature
of the information contained in the respective components (e.g. directives, procedures, maintenance tasks, individual tasks, etc.).
c. Structure and content application. Army departmental media developed or acquired in accordance with this standard shall combine structure and content tagging, to the maximum extent possible, to ensure the highest levels of effectiveness and usefulness of the document instance. Departmental media development shall include the application of generic structure tags, such as title <title> and general paragraph <para>, when these elements are part of the content model of a content tag. For example, a military specifcation may state that the body of a document must contain a maintenance chapter, an assembly chapter, and an undetermined number of chapters in that specifc order. Elements such as maintenance, assembly, and chapter can be used to provide the content and structure requirements. The element declarations for an XML document can be written as follows:
<!ELEMENT body (maint, assem, chapter+)>
<!ELEMENT maint (title, section+)>
<!ELEMENT assem (title, section+)>
<!ELEMENT chapter (title, section+)>
This allows the content to be defned explicitly for the maintenance and assembly chapter while still allowing multiple non-content specifc chapters to be defned. All of the example chapters have the same content model.
4.4.5.2 Technical Manuals. Each of the MIL-STD-40051-1 and -2 content parts is comprised of a similar structure. The top level is an information tag, such as <gim>, <opim>, <mim>, <tim>, <pim>, or <sim> (see paragraph 1.5.3). These top-level tags contain specialized sets of work package elements that are, in some cases, unique to the respective chapters, while, in other cases, common to one or more of chapters. For example, maintenance chapter <mim> can contain work packages comprised of elements that are unique to that chapter, such as service upon receipt work packages <surwp>, preventive maintenance work packages
<pmcswp>, maintenance instruction work packages <maintwp>, etc. MIL-STD-2361 has assembled elements that are common to one or more chapters into element subsets that can be invoked by the chapter XML DTD being used. The top level chapter tag shall be used for building one or more work packages.
a. Work package identifcation number.A unique identifcation number shall be assigned to each work
package and shall not be changed throughout the life of the work package. The work package identifcation number shall be developed in accordance with the functional requirements in
MIL-STD-40051-1 and -2.
b. Work package content.Work packages shall contain information, as required by the functional requirements standard or specifcation, such as the following:
(1) Identifcation block. (2) Initial setup.
(3) Tasks (e.g., maintenance tasks, training tasks, etc.). (4) Paragraphs.
(5) Procedures. (6) Steps.
(7) Tables. (8) Lists.
