XyEnterprise Joins Technical and Training Data Unification Project

WAKEFIELD, Mass.—May 24, 2006—Acquiring, producing, managing, and delivering technical data for the U.S. Naval fleet, while operating within Navy program budgets, can be a challenge. Toward that end, XyEnterprise has announced it will collaborate with others in the human performance technology, instructional design, learning technologies, and S1000D technical data life cycle fields to build XCOMPA (XML Content Object Management and Production Architecture).

According to the announcement, XCOMPA is intended to allow Content@ S1000D and Eduworks’ XML SCORM Studio to work together to provide an integrated content management and production environment. Intelligent Decision Systems Inc., the project lead, is reportedly providing analysis, instructional design/development, and S1000D-to-SCORM transformation. In addition, Paul Haslam of O’Neil & Associates is collaborating with IDSI instructional designers to name, identify, and structure technical and training content in S1000D. Wayne Gafford, the Navy Integrated Learning Environment Tech/Training Data integration lead, is spearheading the project.

XCOMPA is the second of a three-phase R&D project intended to explore legacy data-to-S1000D conversion processes, effective reuse techniques, data module transformation into SCORM assets, and electronic distribution of select data modules to end users, according to the announcement.
