Server Provides End to End Document
Transformation and Publishing Services Using XML
for Unstructured Content for Linux
CAMBRIDGE, MA –
January 27, 2004 - CambridgeDocs, a
leader in the emerging market for XML-based
content integration, today announced the Linux
versions of its xDoc Content Transformation
Server (xCTS). The xDoc Content Transformation
Server provides XML-based transformations of
documents and content from multiple legacy
source formats into XML and then publishing to
popular desktop formats, such as Adobe PDF,
HTML, and Microsoft Word documents.
The xCTS includes the xDoc Conversion Server,
which can transform documents from legacy
formats, such as PDF, HTML, Microsoft Excel,
Microsoft Word and WordPerfect into meaningful
and well-structured XML. The transformation can
retain the “look and feel,” layout, graphics and
content of the source document. On the other
side, the xCTS includes the PDF-XML Publishing
server, which allows for the transformation of
XML
“The xCTS on LINUX is the first end-to-end
transformation tool for unstructured content
using XML,” said Rizwan Virk, CambridgeDocs CTO
and co-founder. “While most content conversion
tools are written on Windows, the xCTS is fully
cross-platform and can be integrated into any
J2EE environment. It also allows end to end
transformations. You can begin with say, a
Microsoft Word File on Linux, convert it to XML,
and then publish the XML as a PDF file. Or, you
could start with a PDF file, convert it to XML,
and then publish it as Microsoft Word document.
Furthermore, the newly published content can be
aggregated from sections of existing content.”
Organizations today have thousands and thousands
of legacy documents that need to be made
available dynamically to end users both within
the organization and outside the organization.
Linux is the first of a number of Unix platforms
that will be fully supported by CambridgeDocs
XML Content Backbone.
The xCTS uses the XTE (xDoc Transformation
Engine) underneath the hood, a patent-pending
technology for transforming unstructured content
into meaningful XML. It supports open, XML-based
standards for publishing and transformation,
including XSLT, and XSL:FO and can also use any
XML-schema or DTD as the target or source for
transformation, including DocBook XML, 3001 MIL
STD, Legal XML, or customer-specific schemas or
DTDs.
The xCTS works with popular J2EE application
servers, such as TomCat, EAServer, as well as
with Microsoft IIS based applications. The
server can be invoked on Linux using its Servlet
API or its Java API.
The xCTS is available immediately and pricing
starts at $9,500 per server.
About CambridgeDocs
CambridgeDocs is a leader in the emerging market for XML-based content
integration. This market deals with the
integration of legacy content with new XML-based
systems (e.g. Content Management, Enterprise
Information Portals, EAI, and Web Services) and
standards (e.g. DocBook, HRXML, RIXML, IRXML,
FPML, DAS-XML, NewsML, any custom XML schema/DTDs,
etc.).
Towards this end, CambridgeDocs provides a
technology platform & services for taking
existing unstructured and semi-structured
internal and external content (e.g. MS Word,
HTML, PDF, Quark, etc.), and transforming it
into "meaningful XML". Once transformed, the
content can be made available for delivery
through XML-based Web Services, classified and
indexed within Enterprise Information Portals,
and aggregated, assembled and published in
multiple different formats including support for
wireless and mobile devices.
