ATA SGML Concept: Revision Management

• Marking revisions at anchor element level:4KEY attribute: identification key of an element4REVDATE attribute: date of revision4CHG attribute (N, R, D, U)

• Marking revision of contents4Textual revision surrounded by:

– REVST element (revision start)– REVEND element (revision end)

4Deleted anchor: content replaced by element DELETED


• EFFECT element 4EFFRG attribute (aircraft range)

• May be completed by:4a Service Bulletin condition SBEFF, 4or a Customer Originated Change condition COCEFF

Industry wide agreement on the Information Architecture for information transfer (Structure, Format and Business Rules)


ATA Data Model: What is a Data Model?

• Structured graphical representation of the processes, business rules and information/data interchanged between a manufacturer/supplier and operator

• Modeling methodology and techniques provide information/data in a standard, consistent, and predictable manner in order to manage data as a resource

• Enables re-engineering of business processes and product life-cycle information targeted to achieve a world-wide accepted Integrated Data Environment


ATA Data Model: What is a Data Model?

• Critical Success Factors for the industry standard Data Model:4Generic - facilitates development of systems of varying purpose, scope and

complexity4Rigorous and precise - representation of data is complete, correct,

consistent and usable4Concise - facilitates improved understanding, communication, consensus

and validation4Conceptual - represents functional requirements rather than physical or

organizational constraints

• Flexible - supports phasing of the life cycle, i.e., M&E model to be followed by Flight Ops, Training, Material Management

• Application - use of the model enables improved:4Business process analysis4Applications development4Re-engineering4Systems integration4Acquisition of information systems


ATA Data Model: Functional Areas

• Derived through an affinity analysis between the structured decomposition of the industry functions/processes and the information/data used by those functions/processes

• Functional areas (business areas) were then used in the architecture of iSpec 2200

• The functional areas are also consistent with a value chain analysis
