xDoc SDK streamlines process for
automatically converting unstructured content to
Any DTD or Schema or Publishing Format
BOSTON –
March 8, 2004 -
Building on its powerful server functionality,
CambridgeDocs, a leader in the emerging market
for XML-based content integration and
publishing, today announced the xDoc SDK. Aimed
at providing programmatic access to the xDoc
Server’s APIs, the xDoc SDK is designed to
reduce the time it takes for developers to build
custom business applications that take advantage
of the rich content stored in unstructured
documents.
“A cornerstone of CambridgeDocs’ mission is to
help organizations realize increased ROI around
unstructured content like PDF, Word, HTML and
Adobe InDesign documents by creating reusable
components that automatically transform
documents into any XML DTD or schema for use
within business applications,” said Riz Virk ,
Chairman and CEO of CambridgeDocs. .
Whether geared to EAI, CRM, Content Management
or Publishing, today’s business applications
increasingly need to access documents as well as
relational data. In the past, these documents,
which might be in PDF or HTML or Microsoft Word
or Microsoft Excel format, weren’t easily
accessible via XML. CambridgeDocs’ xDoc Server
functionality not only automates the conversion
of those files to XML, but is also capable of
transforming XML documents into desired output
XML schemas or even to end-user documents like
MS Word, PDF or XHTML.
The xDoc SDK contains access to all of
CambridgeDocs’ APIs including .NET, Command
Line, and COM as well as an enhanced Java API,
and Servlet Interface for EJB connections. With
the xDoc SDK content-centric applications can be
built on top of either Linux or Windows systems.
CambridgeDocs’ Servers support open XML-based
standards for publishing and transformation,
including XSLT, and XSL:FO. It 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.
About CambridgeDocs
CambridgeDocs is a leader in the emerging market for XML-based content
integration and publishing. 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.
The xDoc Converter is the first step in
CambridgeDocs' strategy for providing Content
Interoperability via a middleware platform, the
CambridgeDocs XML Content Backbone. The
CambridgeDocs XML Content Backbone allows for
the sharing, indexing, migration, repurposing,
republishing and delivery of content between
numerous legacy formats and a variety of
enterprise content systems.
