Abstract
An asset authoring and delivery system generates a number of authored assets such as Owner'"'"'s Guides and Maintenance Manuals. Each of the authored assets includes a number of asset content objects that are logically associated with one or more components included in the item of manufacture. The authored assets generated by the asset authoring and delivery system are formatted and communicated to one or more remote devices logically associated with the item of manufacture.
