Overview
In this two-day course, students will learn the fundamental concepts of the ASD S1000D Specification.
The ASD S1000D Specification course is intended for users familiar with producing technical publications,
but who are new to the ASD S1000D Specification. The first course section provides an overview of ASD
S1000D Specification terminology and reviews the concepts required to understand user roles and tasks
in an ASD S1000D Specification workflow. The second course section provides relevant concepts
needed to understand the planning, implementation, and production of Business Rules and Publications
in the context of ASD S1000D Specification workflow. Finally, the third course section provides an
overview of ASD S1000D Specification administration concepts necessary to understand the
administrative tasks required in the ASD S1000D Specification workflow. Collectively, this training will
help users work within and administrators deploy the Arbortext for Aerospace and Defense software suite.
