There were some interesting suggestions: Irdis (Ürdis), Ay-Two-Ar-Dee (I2RD) and Ay-Ar-Dee (IRD). But then someone mentioned Ar-Two-Dee-Two, and that was the end of the discussion.
New: iiRDSiiRDS Café
The iiRDS Café was a success. For almost three hours, several iiRDS experts answered questions. Marion Knebel presented "iiRDS in DITADITA". Mark Schubert explained the metadatametadata format and the iiRDS package format.

A year in review and a look ahead
What has happened at iiRDS in the last year? What happens next? That was the topic of the presentation by Ulrike Parson and Mark Schubert.
The iiRDS consortium and the steering committee started their work, version 1.0 was released, and the iiRDS working groups were formed. Slides.
Metadata has led to a paradigm shift in technical communication. Component content management systems (CCMS) are no longer at the start of all processes. That role has shifted to metadata. Read more
Patrick Schedlbauer and Ulrike Parson show in their presentation at the tcworld conference 2021 that iiRDS is not limited to certain industries, such as mechanical and plant engineering. Using an example from the automotive industry, they demonstrate how you can use iiRDS to enrich technical standards with metadata and enable the delivery of smart content. Read more
The iiRDS standard makes documentation smart – so it can be made available on portals, apps and data glasses. Case studies in the field of mechanical engineering are very often mentioned in connection with iiRDS – for example, the scenario of the service technician who uses an end-device to scan an error code on a machine that needs repairing and then receives a snippet of information on the display showing how to fix the problem. This article is about the extensibility of the iiRDS model in the automotive sector. Read more
