The BREX (Business Rules EXchange) checker plays an
important role for organizations working with the S1000D standard.
This post explores what that means to you.
Business Rules Validation
S1000D defines complex rules for structuring technical documentation, including data modules, illustrations, and other content.
The BREX checker ensures that the created content adheres to these rules.
It validates data modules against the defined set of business rules, ensuring compliance before information is issued.
Enhanced Communication
When a customer or vendor provides their BREX, it clarifies their expectations for product delivery.
Implementing BREX fosters a deeper understanding between you and your customer or vendor, surpassing what a typical Statement of Work (SOW) can achieve.
Quality Control and Efficiency
BREX validation tools are available during the authoring process.
Authors work within the customer’s or vendor’s business rules, leading to smoother transitions through quality control.
Efficient adherence to rules improves project quality and reduces costs.
In summary, integrating BREX into your company’s workflow ensures accurate, compliant, and customer-focused technical documentation.
