1. A method for a web-based process to generate electronic checklists and deploy electronic checklists, comprising:
receiving bulk data comprising one or more documents;
parsing the bulk data to form a loadable database for an electronic procedure system of a vehicle;
generating a rendering of an electronic checklist based on the loadable database;
transmitting the rendering of the electronic checklist to a user device;
iteratively performing an authoring process using a web-based tool to update the loadable database based on user inputs and/or corresponding data, wherein:
the web-based tool includes a standards enforcement boundary and a web-tool visual editor; and
the web-based tool uses the standards enforcement boundary to ensure that generation, modification, and deployment of checklists follow syntax and relationship rules;
receiving an instruction to transmit the updated loadable database to the electronic procedure system of the vehicle;
transmitting the updated loadable database to the vehicle;
further wherein the user inputs and/or the corresponding data include author inputs to:
add, delete, or edit one or more element(s) in one or more location(s) on a rendering of the checklist; and
add, delete, or edit one or more tag(s) for an element of the one or more element(s), wherein the tags indicate one of: linking sensor(s) with the element, linking CAS message(s) with the element, and/or linking phase of flight with the element.
