Subject: Arbortext makes Java catalog classes available for use by XML processors
Good Morning: The release below crossed the wire this morning at 9:46am. There are several marketing components related to this activity: 1. Norm Walsh provided the files and sample documents available for download as referenced in the release. Because anyone can download these files, there will be a simple registration screen that captures information on the types of folk who are interested in this stuff. 2. Norm has also written another "Standard Deviation from Norm" column that ties quite nicely into this PR - so there'll be a link in that location for people to follow to that column as well. 3. Our PR agency is distributing this release to some of the more techy journalists who may be interested in writing about this. Thanks to Norm Walsh and Paul Grosso for being the technical eagle eyes on this. Thanks, Beth Ambaruch Arbortext makes Java catalog classes available for use by XML processors Open source code enables XML processors to resolve public identifiers ANN ARBOR, Mich., April 4, 2000 -- Arbortext, Inc., a leading provider of Extensible Markup Language (XML)-based e-Content software, announced today the immediate availability of open source Java-based code to support public identifier resolution in XML documents. This code will enable XML processors to resolve public identifiers which increases the flexibility and interoperability of XML documents. These Java classes implement the OASIS Entity Management Catalog format as well as an XML Catalog format for resolving XML public identifiers into accessible files or resources on a user’s system or throughout the Web. These classes can easily be incorporated into most Java-based XML processors, thereby giving the users of these processors all the benefits of public identifier use. “The use of system identifiers alone, without the ability to provide some sort of indirection for resolving them, is a frequent source of confusion, downtime and irritation for users who share XML documents across diverse systems or enterprises,” said Norman Walsh, Principal Software Engineer, at Arbortext, Inc. “By making this code public, making it easy to integrate into applications, and by basing it on an existing, open standard, we hope that it will find its way into most – if not all – of the major XML parsers. If that happens, sharing XML documents with colleagues, business partners and other users will become easier, simpler and much more robust.” As XML processors incorporate this code, users will be able to utilize public identifiers in XML documents with the confidence that they will be able to move those documents from one system to another and around the Web knowing that they will also be able to refer to the appropriate external file or Web page. Availability Available to everyone at no cost, these Java classes can be immediately downloaded from http://www.arbortext.com/catalog.html. Also available at this location are sample files and a link to the latest “Standard Deviations from Norm” column entitled “If You Can Name It, You Can Claim It!” About Arbortext Founded in 1982, and renowned as one of the original creators of XML, Arbortext is a global provider of XML-based solutions designed to manage business critical e-Content.
