REQUIREMENTS
3
3.1 General content requirements for the IETM data base. The Interactive Electronic Technical Manual Data
Base (IETMDB) shall be constructed of composite nodes. These nodes shall comprise the basic units of
information within the IETMDB. These composite nodes shall be composed of primitives, relationships
(links) to other pieces of information, and context attributes as deined in MILDTL-87269. The primitives
of which these composites are constructed shall include text, tables, graphics, and dialogs. A revisable data
base developed according to the requirements of this speciication shall conform to the general requirements
listed herein and the speciic requirements of MIL-DTL-87269.
3.1.1 Text. Textual information shall consist of alphanumeric data consisting of letters, words, sentences,
paragraphs, numbers, Greek letters, special characters (symbols), etc. Textual information shall follow the
guidelines for style detailed in this speciication (see 3.3). Textual information shall contain reference links
to other information, parts descriptions, or graphics when those links are required to describe the IETM.
3.1.2 Tables. Displayable tables shall be represented as a series of separate entries; each entry being
associated with a speciic row and column intersection (cell) of a table. When it is necessary to associate a
table entry with another information element or attribute, the entry (cell) shall refer (through a relationship)
to the appropriate architectural element or primitive element in the IETMDB.
3.1.3 Graphics. Graphic information, e.g., drawings, illustrations, shall be hierarchical and consist of
logically related groups of graphic primitives. Graphics data elements shall be composed of a series of
these graphic primitives which are capable of being overlaid on each other to build a complete graphic.
These graphics shall be the individual objects capable of being referenced in a node. Graphics shall
include, but not be limited to, the following types: locator diagram, functional block diagram, general
support graphic, schematic, wiring diagram, low diagram, or graph/chart.
3.1.4 Dialogs. Dialogs shall be formulated as prompting questions which are intended to be presented by
the EDS to the user. Dialogs shall be developed so that they require a user to respond, i.e., enter data,
before any subsequent processing is undertaken. The dialog information in the IETMDB shall be formulated
so that once a dialog is presented to the user, and answered, certain assertions about the user's environment
are able to be made. The information associated with dialogs shall permit the presentation system to
provide actions to follow all completed dialogs. Subsequent procedures available for presentation shall be
conditional upon one of the possible answers requested by the prompt.
3.1.5 Element links. Speciic information elements in the data base which have relationships to other
elements, shall be represented by linking the information together. These links shall be developed to allow
the user to branch from the immediate technical information to other related information. The links shall be
