-Welcome to your wiki!
+# ESI Tools

-This is the default page, edit it as you see fit. To add a new page simply reference it within brackets, e.g.: [SamplePage].
+**ESI Tools** is a set of tools to help maintain the Enumerations for Simulation Interoperability document set, SISO-REF-010, as published by the [Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization](http://www.sisostds.org) (SISO) 

-The wiki uses [Markdown](/p/esitools/wiki2/markdown_syntax/) syntax.
+SISO-REF-010 specifies the numerical values and associated definitions for those fields that are identified as enumerations in [IEEE](http://www.ieee.org) or SISO standards. Historically SISO-REF-010 provided enumeratations for fields in the Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) Protocol Data Units (PDUs), [IEEE 1278.1-2012](http://standards.ieee.org/findstds/standard/1278.1-2012.html) (and its predecessors IEEE 1278.1-1995 and IEEE 1278.1A-1998). As SISO-REF-010 continues to evolve to support the larger distributed simulation community, it is expected that the scope of enumerations included will also evolve. SISO-REF-010 is governed by the Enumerations Working Group (EWG), a subgroup of the DIS Product Support Group. The EWG has created an [Operations Manual](http://www.sisostds.org/DigitalLibrary.aspx?EntryId=29547) with more information on rules and guidelines for enumerations, membership, and instructions for submitting and participating in an established enumerations process.

+Currently users must build the tools themselves (see these [build instructions](BuildInstructions)). The intention is that an installer will be provided, which will able to be downloaded from the [ESI Tools project page](https://sourceforge.net/projects/esitools/).

+# Automatic Tool Chain
+
+The following diagram illustrates the tool chain to support the automated process of Change Requests (CRs). 
+
+![](/raw-attachment/wiki/WikiStart/Tool%20Chain.jpg)
+
+The components are as follows: 
+
+  * **Registrar** \- Assigns Change Request numbers to the Change Request (CR) and updates the CR status document 
+  * **Updater** \- Processes Change Requests and updates the XML Database 
+  * **Approver** \- Updates the XML database with the results of the EWG decisions on a change block 
+  * **Word Generator** \- Creates the Word version of SISO-REF-010 
+  * **Excel Generator** \- Creates the Excel version of SISO-REF-010 
+  * **Change Publisher** \- Notifies the Enum Reflector about new or updated Change Requests, including any errors 
+  * **Status Publisher** \- Sends copies of Change Request Status document to the Enum Reflector 
+  * **Publisher** \- Updates the subversion Configuration Management System with the latest XML Database 
+  * **Change Block Generator** \- Creates the set of Change Request files disposed of for a particular SISO-REF-010 release 
+
+The following additonal tools are provided: 
+
+  * **ESItool GUI** \- Graphical User Interface that provides point and click access to tool chain functionality. Currently supports the **Registrar** functionality 
+  * **CRsummary** \- Provides a summary of approved CR files 
+  * **Info** \- Provides information about the SISO-REF-010 xml database 
+  * **Validator** \- Validates the SISO-REF-010 xml database 
+
+The intention is to rerun the tool chain at regular intervals - daily? This way updates to CRs are picked up, validated and incorporated into the working copy. Each rerun starts with the previous approved XML database. 
+
+After Enumerations Working Group (EWG) votes on a set of CRs, the CR status document is updated to mark the CRs as either _Approved_, _Rejected_ or _On Hold_, the tool chain is run to produce the approved SISO-REF-010 database and associated work products. 
+
+Currently the two **Publishers** are not under development - their activities will be performed manually in the mean time. 
+
+The **Excel Generator** is the XSLT script produced by Peter Ross (and thus is not currently part of the EBV Tool set).
