When a paper Technical Manual comes into the system, it is split up into manageable pieces.  Each piece is converted into it’s own Digital Document and then run through a lot of Quality Control.  It then ends up in this use case.
The technical writer receives notification that there is a digital document available to be converted into an IETM section.  The Technical Writer uses Workflow’s Retrieve use case to retrieve the Digital Document.  The Technical Writer loads it up into a converter, which turns the Digital Document into an IETM Section.  This is necessary because the OCR software will not output to a format that is compliant with the military standards specified in MIL--PRF-87269B.  Once converted, the IETM Section is compared back to the original paper document to verify correctness once again.  If there are errors the Technical Writer can go back and fix them.  Once the Technical Writer is satisfied with the IETM Section, it is Submitted using Workflow’s Submit use case, and notification is sent to yet another Quality Controller that the IETM Section should be verified.  After this use case ends, the IETM Section will be verified and corrected if necessary, and then it will be merged with all of the other IETM Sections that came from the original paper document to form the IETM that corresponds to the original paper document.  The new IETM is then submitted to Workflow, and can be used by the outside world.
