NIVOMAX Builder is an IETP publishing engine that ingests S1000D, iSpec 2200, OEM XML/SGML, and unstructured technical data to generate NIVOMAX Viewer ready IETP / IETM delivery package for the NIVOMAX platform.

Builder operates downstream from authoring and PLM environments. Its role is to process, validate, assemble, and package technical content into deployable digital products used across operational and maintenance environments.

IETP Publishing Engine Overview

NIVOMAX Builder produces the IETP delivery package (Library Archive Package) — a deployable, viewer-ready archive containing processed modules, publication structures, metadata, graphics, applicability, and all runtime components required by NIVOMAX Web, Desktop, and iPadOS viewers.

This is the standardized package delivered to operators, MROs, and customers.

Supported Data Sources

NIVOMAX Builder processes structured, semi-structured, and unstructured technical publications through one publishing engine. All inputs are normalized and published as a unified, viewer-ready IETP delivery package (Library Archive Package).

Structured Formats

  • S1000D (multiple Issues)
  • iSpec 2200 / ATA legacy
  • OEM XML/SGML

    Semi-Structured Sources

    • Supplier/OEM export bundles
    • Customer-specific XML schemas
    • Mixed-format packages with partial structure

      Unstructured Content

      • PDF manuals
      • Word documents
      • Static HTML or legacy web content
      • Heterogeneous file sets
      • Raster/vector graphics in any format

      Unified Library Output

      Builder can combine S1000D, iSpec 2200, OEM formats, and unstructured documents into one unified, searchable IETP library — processed through a single ingestion pipeline and published as a standardized IETP delivery package.

      Publishing Pipeline

      NIVOMAX Builder transforms upstream authoring and PLM exports into a structured runtime library through the following stages:

      Upstream Export

      Authoring/PLM systems export Data Modules, Publication Modules, graphics, metadata, and applicability/effectivity information.

      Ingestion & Processing

      Builder performs normalization, validation, reference resolution, applicability/effectivity processing, metadata generation, and graphics preparation.

      Build & Assembly

      Builder assembles the publication structure, generates runtime metadata and search indexes, prepares interactive graphics, and applies customer/operator-specific build profiles.

      Deployment Integration

      The resulting library integrates seamlessly into NIVOMAX Web, Desktop, iPadOS, and enterprise delivery workflows.

      Core Capabilities

      • End-to-end ingestion and publishing engine
      • Reference, applicability, and effectivity resolution
      • Schema and business-rule validation
      • Graphics transformation (CGM → SVG), hotspot and wiring-diagram preparation
      • Metadata and search index generation
      • Build variants for operator, fleet, or customer requirements
      • Sales Center integration for licensing and subscriptions
      • Self-Serve Portal integration for downstream delivery

      Frequently Asked Questions

      About the NIVOMAX IETP / IETM Builder

      What is a Library Archive Package?

      It is the packaged library generated by Builder — the deployable runtime archive used by all NIVOMAX IETP and IETM applications.

      Can Builder handle mixed or unstructured data?

      Yes. Builder processes structured, semi-structured, and unstructured technical content in a unified workflow.

      Does Builder edit or author content?

      No. Builder operates downstream from authoring and PLM systems. It processes and packages content but does not modify source files.

      Can Builder integrate with our PLM or authoring systems?

      Yes. Builder supports automated ingest workflows and batch-export integration with PLM, CSDB, and authoring environments.
