MIL-STD-2361C
delivered with the source fle when the publication does not conform to the requirements of public document type defnition sets identifed in Appendix A, Appendix B, Appendix C, Appendix D, and Appendix E and be accompanied by a request for SGML/XML Object and Construct registration approval to the ASRL. A complete style sheet will be delivered with every source fle until publicly identifed style sheets are available.
6.2.3 Output File Delivery. Paragraph 6.1.g. in the document preparation process requires use of a page description language (PDL) to produce an output fle, sometimes called a text presentation metafle, to drive an output device such as a printer. Delivery requirements for output fles are in paragraph 4.1.3.
6.2.4 Illustration fles. This standard provides the tags by which raster or vector illustration fles can be referenced in the source fle, and incorporated in the fnal composed technical publication document. Preparation requirements for publication illustration fles are addressed in MIL-PRF-28000, MIL-PRF-28002, and MIL-PRF-28003. Delivery requirements for publication illustration fles are also in MIL-STD-1840.
6.2.5 Tables. Tables are typically included as SGML/XML -tagged text in the source fle. The defnition of the table may be explicitly included in the document instance or may be included through the use of an entity reference to an external or internal table defnition. If an external entity is used, it may be one that is publicly identifed in Appendix A, Appendix C, Appendix D and Appendix E, or one that is created
for use with a particular document instance known as a SYSTEM external entity. A publicly identifed
entity need not be submitted with a MIL-STD-1840 compliant deliverable, although it will be cited in the document type defnition submitted with the document instance. A SYSTEM external entity declaration will be submitted with the MIL-STD-1840 compliant deliverable. When using a document type defnition from Appendix A, Appendix C, Appendix D and Appendix E, tables can also be delivered as illustration fles (using the graphic element type) where preparation requirements make this alternative more cost effective, or where preparation requirements exceed the capability of the markup tags in Appendix A, Appendix C, Appendix D and Appendix E. Delivery of tables as separate illustration fles seriously limits their utility for additional processing, and is discouraged.
6.2.6 Hardcopy and softcopy application. The delivery options in this standard (see paragraph 6.2.2, paragraph 6.2.3, paragraph 6.2.4, and paragraph 6.2.5) should be applied based on an analysis of how the information is to be used. For example, an output (PDL) fle can be used for both electronic
publishing of hardcopy and electronic softcopy display, but it cannot support interactive retrieval as can an
SGML/XML -tagged text source fle.
6.3 Application of Non-Government Standards. Current national and international non-Government standards do not adequately address all seven steps of the publication preparation process. ISO 8879 and W3C REC-xml-20001006 addresses paragraph 6.1.a., paragraph 6.1.c. and paragraph 6.1.d. ISO 10180 supports paragraph 6.1.g. ISO 10179 addresses paragraph 6.1.b. and paragraph 6.1.e. XML Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSL-T) and XML Stylesheet Language for Formatting Objects (XSL-FO) are used for the output specifcation to satisfy the requirements of paragraph 6.1.b. and paragraph 6.1.e. of the publication preparation process listed in paragraph 6.1. MIL-STD-2361 XML style sheets are available on the ASRL.
6.4 Publication Management and Processing Considerations.
6.4.1 Army Publication Management Considerations. This standard provides the Government and contractor publications manager with tools to be used in determining if a given document is in or out of conformance with this standard, the governing functional requirements (MIL-STD-40051-1 and -2, etc.), or contracting activity direction.
6.4.1.1 Use Of Document Type Defnitions. The appropriate MIL-STD-2361 SGML/XML DTD provides a basis for electronically preparing a given publication, and then determining whether the document conforms to the logical constructs within the DTD (i.e., parsing). A syntactic analysis is made by parsing the document. Parsing will verify whether or not the string of tokens conforms to the grammar.
6.4.2 Processing System Considerations. The processing system is a tool of the author and the publication manager. The processing system should ensure the authority of the manager to -
a. Determine whether document corrections are warranted. b. Set an orderly plan and schedule for such correction.
