IETM / IETP technology stores information wherever appropriate IETMs allow operators and maintenance personnel to locate needed information faster than paper manuals. Information locally displayed to the problem (on-board systems, for example) and visual information intuitively presented causes a speedier resolution.
IETM systems facilitate authors and provide the necessary control of content and distribute changes and updates quickly.
The environment (a totally virtual one) with the necessary contextual information enables more accurate responses constantly at various stages of the process.

IETMs are normally viewed by standard web browser, which provides accessibility through various platforms. |
|
Accessibility between linked document systems is enhanced mainly because of the better user interface that web-browsers provide. |
IETM Characteristics:
IETM / IETP standards are described as follows:
Class 0 |
Paper - Printed manuals. |
Type I |
Class 1 |
Electronically Indexed Page Images - Page images rather than live text, intelligent graphics, etc. may contain rudimentary linking within document internal structure. |
Class 2 |
Electronic Scrolling Documents - Live text with SGML/XML tags. May include multimedia. Internal linking. |
Class 3 |
Linear Structured IETMs - Utilizes SGML or XML. Most often viewed as an indexed PDF file (page turner). |
Class 4 |
Hierarchically Structured IETMs - Fully structured hierarchy of information specifically authored for the IETM. Dynamic cross-reference features. Typically a relational or object-oriented database stores data tagged with SGML / XML. Robust search features. |
Type II |
Class 5 |
Integrated Process IETMs - Systems that go beyond providing information, but actually interact with hardware and process equipment. Provides strong:
• Diagnostics
• Remote Diagnostics
• Intrusive Diagnostics
• Expert Systems
• Test Equipment
• Prime Equipment Diagnostics |
