This standard establishes the Extensible Markup Language (XML) requirements for digital development, acquisition, and delivery of Army administrative and technical and equipment publications. The requirements for technical and equipment publications include the development, acquisition, and delivery requirements for Electronic and Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (ETM/IETM). Further, this standard establishes the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) requirements for digital development, acquisition, and delivery of Army training and doctrine publications. Designated appendices of this standard contain references to, and access instructions for, the Document Type Definitions (DTD) and Tag Description Lists for the development of Army publications in conjunction with the respective functional requirements documents. Data prepared in conformance to these requirements will facilitate the automated storage, retrieval, interchange, and processing of publications from heterogeneous data sources.
