Requirements of the WCN data module

The warning, caution or note data module created by your authors must meet a number of requirements.

The WCN data module must comply with the following:
  • It must contain only the warning, caution or note content.
  • It must have an information code "012".
  • It must be coded as a descriptive data module.
  • It must contain only a single <para> child element.
  • The <para> element must contain a single <warning>, <caution> or <note> element.
  • The <warning>, <caution> or <note> element can contain any content allowed in a WCN. This content is the content that is placed into the referencing data module.

For example, the following is a valid WCN data module for S1000D Issue 3.0 (ellipses indicate missing content):

<dmodule>
  <idstatus>
    <dmaddres>
      <dmc>
        <modelic>BICYCLEXXX</modelic>
        ...
        <incode>012</incode>
        ...
      </dmc>
    </dmaddres>
    ...
  </idstatus>
  <content>
    <descript>
      <para>
        <warning>
        ...
        </warning>
      </para>
    </descript>
  </content>
</dmodule>
