SDL has released Version 5.0 of its structured content suite for S1000D, the XML standard for technical documentation. SDL Contenta S1000D 5.0 is engineered specifically for the aerospace and defense industries.

The company reports the suite includes upgrades to Contenta, SDL’s common source database (CSDB) for managing S10000D, as well as to LiveContent, its application for managing interactive electronic technical manuals (IETM). Also included is BREXChecker, SDL’s tool for validating multilayered business rules, which is now available from within the SDL Contenta S1000D 5.0 editor application and has reporting features to help ensure compliance with contract business rules, explains SDL.
