The document discusses RESTful IDEAS (Integrated Documentation Environment for Aircraft Support) which aims to improve the distribution of aircraft technical documentation using RESTful web services and standards like AtomPub, OpenSearch, and S1000D. It describes how technical information is currently distributed via paper/CDs and proprietary formats, and outlines a new architecture that leverages web feeds, syndication, and federated search to provide up-to-date electronic documentation to airlines, manufacturers, and other stakeholders.

31. Standardization with CMIS 1 AtomPub and SOAP bindings Not all deployed CMS will support CMIS. 2 Vanilla AtomPub client and server can be implemented easily with existing tools (e.g. Apache Abdera). 3 Interoperability issues between Vanilla AtomPub client and CMIS AtomPub server.
