Connect engineering knowledge with structured documentation
ELM Wiki is an ELWIS-based knowledge application combining rich pages with attributes, tags, hierarchies and relationships. Documentation teams organise technical content and connect it to engineering artifacts. Reusable templates, review workflows and Word/PDF export support individual pages or documentation sets. Plan OSLC linking around the actual requirements, test or work-management context.
Workflow at a glance
Editorial overview based on vendor documentation.
- Structure knowledgeDefine page types, metadata, templates, relationships and access rules.
- Author and connectCreate pages, link engineering artifacts and apply the agreed review workflow.
- Publish and maintainExport or share documentation and maintain permissions and lifecycle.
Inputs and results
Inputs include pages, media, structured records and engineering links. Outputs include navigable knowledge, filtered views and Word/PDF documentation. Item-level access, SSO/Keycloak and audit trails are described; configuration determines delivered behaviour.
Technical fit and boundaries
SaaS, local Docker and custom cloud options are documented. Confirm release, data location, identity integration, backups and OSLC setup. Particular workflow or AI functions require release-specific confirmation.
Evaluation questions
Can pages connect to DOORS Next? OSLC links are described; validate configuration context, permissions and required behaviour. Can an existing wiki migrate? Assistance includes Confluence and XWiki; agree transferred content, attachments, history, relationships and rights.
Plan your evaluation
Supply repositories, templates, access rules, ELM scope, export examples, migration volumes and hosting preference. Itemise licence, migration, implementation and support, including acceptance checks for transferred content.
