We wonder how far VR and AR are already operational and whether the trend will prevail and revolutionize technical documentation.

Knowledge graphs virtualize and connect information that exists in information silos in structured and unstructured forms.

Schema languages define rules for XML documents and syntactically describe the structure and content of these documents. The defined rule set ensures that the XML document is valid, meaning it consists of correct, consistent, and machine-readable units of information.

Introduction of a PIM system: With competence and experience, we accompany you on the path to your individual product information management – from conception and selection to the implementation of the suitable system and integration into the existing system landscape.

PIM initially stands for Product Information Management and involves the management and maintenance of product information. In a PIM system, all relevant product data is centrally managed and stored or referenced in a media-neutral manner.

For Industry 4.0, semantic standards must be established to assist in the description of products and technical documentation. The standards ECLASS, VDI 2770, and iiRDS are relevant in this context.

iiRDS is a technical standard that enables platform-independent and content-neutral querying and delivery of digital information.

DITA is an XML-based document format that has established itself as a standard in technical documentation and is used for the creation, distribution, and reuse of technical information.
