ASSIGNMENT NO. 2
IETM:

IETM or Interactive Electronic Technical Manual is a portal to manage technical


documentation. IETMs compress volumes of text into just CD-ROMs or online
pages which may include sound and video, and allow readers to locate
needed information far more rapidly than in paper manuals. IETMs came into
widespread use in the 1990s as huge technical documentation projects for
the aircraft and defense industries.

Classes of IETM:

The functionality of IETMs systems is broken down into five classes.


Class 1 - This IETM class follows the structure and format of a printed book, with
indexes and table of contents that are hyperlinked into the content of the
document. This might be a scanned book with some links added.

Class 2 - This format includes more hyperlinks than Class I, such as figures, tables
and section references. A hyperlinked PDF document is the typical example. The
document would be marked up with XML.
Class 3 - The difference between Class II and Class III is analogous to the
difference between PDF book and a web site. The book structure is discarded;
instead the document is structured more freely following the logic of the content.
The document can still be printed but it won't necessarily match the presentation
on the screen. Hyperlinking throughout the document is expected. The document
would be marked up with XML.

Class 4 - This class now expects the data to be stored in a relational database,
obtaining benefits of data integrity and removal of data redundancy.
Relationships in the content that are presented as hyperlinks, are mapped directly
to relations in the database schema. Redundancy in the data that exists in earlier
classes should be removed. The sequence of presentation is also different from
earlier classes. There is no longer the concept of a static page. Content can
change dynamically based on users navigation and input through the content; the

content may now be user specific. It is no longer possible to print a linear format
of the document

Class 5 - In this class the documentation is now integrated with expert systems
that may influence the display of content. For example, the IETM system may
aggregate data from a large number of users input, feed that to the expert system
that analyzes it and then the result gets fed back to the user through the IETM
system. An analogy might be Google search, where search results are improved
based on analysis of large data sets of previous queries entered by users
