Automated Component Matching and Linking for Imported Schematics
Approved #3370

Story Statement

As a technical illustrator, I want the system to match components in imported wiring schematics to metadata in related topics and create links automatically where possible so that users can navigate from schematic components to the correct supporting information with minimal manual authoring.

Business Value

- Preserves existing schematic assets by enabling import instead of full re-authoring. - Reduces authoring effort by automating component-to-topic link creation based on metadata matches. - Improves technician efficiency by connecting schematic components to relevant information objects. - Increases information accuracy by maintaining consistent object-level relationships across content.

Acceptance Criteria
  • Given an author imports a supported SVG schematic, when import completes, then the system preserves visual fidelity and makes the schematic available for automated component matching and link generation.
  • Given an imported wiring schematic is processed, when component identifiers match topic metadata, then the system creates links automatically between components and the matched information objects.
  • Given a component has multiple possible metadata matches or low-confidence matching, when auto-linking runs, then the system flags the component for author review and does not create a final link without confirmation.
  • Given schematic content or target-topic metadata changes, when validation or publish checks run, then stale, broken, or ambiguous links are identified for remediation.
  • Given authors run link validation, when validation completes, then a report includes auto-created links, unmatched components, and exception items requiring manual resolution.
