What is the APT?

APT is an authoring tool that streamlines the writing, publishing and maintenance process of ATBDs for NASA’s Earth Science Division. APT is also a centralized repository of - submitted ATBDs for Earth Science users.

How does the APT work?

APT uses a standardized ATBD template that sets content - expectations for ATBDs and improves communication. A review - process is used to ensure all content quality. ATBD content is - stored as metadata making it completely machine readable, - searchable, and useful in other tools and services. + expectations for ATBDs and improves communication and completed + document discoverability.
