Adopt the S1000D standard

Adopting the S1000D international standard for technical publications would allow the entire government to be able to share information more easily. The information, once put into a common source database, would be able to be used by whomever needed it. And once it is placed there, the need for reentering the data is not needed, threrby decreasing the costs of rewriting and reediting the work. Most major companies have begun to adopt the standard.

    As a contractor who makes his living consulting on S1000D, I have to throw out the caveat that it isn't a silver bullet.

    S1000D shares between projects of similar business rules pretty gracefully, but once you start getting into dis-similar projects, it doesn't do so well.

    So I usually advocate DITA.

    That said, S1000D is a lot better than the status quo, so I agreed with this idea.
