Description / Abstract:
oManual is a standard for storing and transmitting procedural
manuals. oManual's common data format can be used as an offline
file package or via online RESTful API endpoints, using XML or
JSON. This format is useful for documenting and describing repairs,
how-to, work instructions, or any other step-by-step procedures.
oManual makes it easy to exchange procedural information between
services while maintaining usability on mobile devices.
This specification describes the oManual data model, web
services API, and bundle file format (a collection of structured
files containing a category XML format, a guide XML format, and
related multimedia). The specification may be expanded in the
future to enable additional types of documents.
Purpose
IEEE 1874 file format enables documentation interoperability
while allowing flexibility of presentation.
