Description

"The oManual standard allows a taxonomy to be imposed upon (Open Source Hardware Documentation)materials. The advantage of an open standard is that the documentation can then be parsed and displayed in any way that is desirable. Thus, there is a separation between content and the display of that content – which makes the oManual file a robust and flexible was to store, organize, and display open hardware documentation.” (http://blog.opensourceecology.org/2013/06/open-source-hardware-documentation-jam-a-report/)
