25 PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.) Appendix A Codes and Standards Listing Now a module document common across all design and installation manuals and also posted on the BICSI website Updated with each revision to a Design or Installation Manual (currently being updated as part of ESSDRM 4 th Edition revision cycle); a living document! Better ability to keep up with additions, deletions, revisions to applicable Codes and Standards as they occur Includes Country-Specific/Regional/Global Codes and Standards, not just those specific to North America!

26 PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.) Glossary Bob Faber RCDD, NTS, SMETL Originally a book, now a module document common across all design and installation manuals, and will also be posted on the BICSI website Like the Codes and Standards Listing, will be updated with each revision to a Design or Installation Manual (currently being updated as part of ESSDRM 4 th Edition revision cycle); a living document! Basically an improved, more readily available form of the previous hardcopy BICSI ITS Dictionary Better ability to keep up with additions, deletions, revisions to ITS terms, definitions and acronyms as they occur in the industry

27 PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.) Process to modularize BICSI manuals began in 2013 Goal is to convert the structure of the manuals from stand-alone documents with fixed revision schedules to an aggregation of individual modules that include all of the applicable technical information required for that particular manual or publication Modules will in effect be small "chapters" that will be written in a manner that will allow them to stand alone or as a part of a larger manual or document

28 PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.) By organizing the information into smaller sections, new or updated manuals can be produced with ease and on a more specific basis by simply creating the manual through the applicable modules Discrepancies which could result from different review cycles for common information that is contained within two or more manuals or documents can be reduced or eliminated

29 PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.) Overall goals of modularization: Ensure that each module is updated as needed to accommodate changes in related codes, standards and industry practices, regardless of any publication schedule Information is distributed as quickly as possible to manual owners

30 PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.) Move to a "subscription service" whereby a manual subscriber will receive constant updates to their manual sets» As modules are created or updated, the new/revised modules will be automatically sent to the subscribers» As modules are revised and/or updated, previous editions of modules will be made available to members/subscribers as archived modules

31 PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.) OSPDRM 5 th Edition selected as first manual to enter process; will be part of development of 6 th Edition TI&M subcommittee formed at Winter Conference in Tampa in 2013

32 PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.) Tasks completed to date: Identified what topics belong in which modules Formalized draft module categories Assigned Subject Matter Expert Team Leaders (SMETL) for each module Began assembling Module Subject Matter Expert (SME) team members Next steps: Obtain relevant information from BICSI publications for each module Begin organizing material within the respective modules Review for currency and correctness; add new material as applicable
