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.
