SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING AUTHORED CONTENT GENERATION, APPROVAL, AND DISTRIBUTION
First Claim
1. A method of operation in a vehicle component authoring system comprising at least one processor and at least one nontransitory processor-readable medium communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, the method comprising:
- for each of a number of documents,storing a set of authored content by the at least one processor to the at least one nontransitory processor-readable medium, the stored set of authored content including authored content for each of a plurality of topics related to the vehicle;
for each of a plurality of systems and components which are each represented by a respective identifier in a bill of materials for the vehicle, storing a logical relationship between the respective system or the respective component of the vehicle and a respective one of the topics, by the at least one processor to the at least one nontransitory processor-readable medium;
for each of a plurality of systems and components which are each represented by a respective identifier in a bill of materials for the vehicle, storing a logical relationship between the respective system or the respective component of the vehicle and at least one respective role responsible for the respective system or the respective component, by the at least one processor to the at least one nontransitory processor-readable medium; and
monitoring approval or lack of approval of at least a portion of the set of authored content by the at least one processor.

Abstract
A review management system/content management system (RMS/CMS system) manages the collection and review of blocks of unreviewed authored content by original equipment manufacturer (OEM) designated reviewers. OEM designated reviewers are able to edit and add comments that are logically associated by the RMS/CMS system with a block of unreviewed authored content. The RMS/CMS system logically associates each block of approved authored content with one or more topics included in the documentation that accompanies an OEM produced vehicle. The RMS/CMS system receives or otherwise accesses a bill of materials (BOM) associated with a vehicle and selects blocks of approved authored content for inclusion in the documentation accompanying the respective vehicle. The RMS/CMS system selects system blocks of approved authored content based on topics identified by the systems and components included on the BOM associated with the vehicle. The RMS/CMS system generates the documentation using OEM specific templates.
