WorX SE - XML Authoring Made Easy
HyperVision Ltd.
will be releasing its latest version of the WorX technology at the Seybold
conference in San Francisco at the end of August. WorX SE is a standard addition to WorX™ for Word. WorX SE allows users to prepare
documents in Microsoft Word and store them as well-formed Extensible Markup
Language (XML™) documents. WorX SE
operates in compliance with Windows NT and 2000. The WorX technology is the most sophisticated XML authoring
supplement to Word available on the market today.
Using a
visual-editing environment in Microsoft Word, WorX SE provides the necessary
support for the preparation of structured documents. As an add-in to Word, WorX SE offers unrestricted access to
the rich set of features and functionality offered by Word. Users can retain their regular comfort
level with Word without having to develop an in-depth knowledge of XML.
WorX SE supports
XML DTDs (Document Type Definitions) or the Microsoft XDR Schema. Based on a
DTD or Schema, WorX creates a template by using the WorX Document
Administrator. The templates drive
the document creation, manipulation and information retrieval from various
existing XML sources. The Document Administrator also provides mapping of
elements from the template to the WorX SE Palette. Through these functions, WorX SE allows users to have a more
comfortable working environment inside Microsoft Word.
WorX SE provides
support for real time updates of the document structure, robust metadata
creation, W3C 1.0 compliant XML, and information retrieval for the reuse of
existing XML information. Most
importantly, WorX SE provides a stable, structured, XML authoring environment
within Microsoft Word.
WorX SE represents a consequential
development in the field of structured authoring. Bert Sheingate, President of HyperVision, indicated that based on years of experience of working with the broad authoring
community, HyperVision has recognized the need to maximize the creativity of
the original content author. This
can only be accomplished by letting the author use those tools with which they
are comfortable and familiar.
Creative original authors want the comfort of using Microsoft Word as
the canvas of creation.
HyperVision is committed to build solutions that successfully extend the
comfort of Word to meet the requirements and guidelines of the structured XML
standards. Bert states, “HyperVision is dedicated to bridge the flexibility of
creativity with the structure and standards of XML as set forth by the W3C.”
About HyperVision Ltd.
HyperVision has been delivering high-end
information strategies and consulting services since it’s incorporation in
1988. Most of these services have
focused on the enhancement of content-development business activities. Since its inception, HyperVision has
worked closely with the California Legislative Data Center, providing a variety
of software solutions in support of legacy and new applications. During the past 3 years, one such
activity led to the evolution of the WorX technology. HyperVision evolved the initial technology developed for
California into a generic solution applicable to the broad cross-section of
original content authors. This new generic offering of WorX Technology has rapidly
become the most sophisticated XML authoring addition to Microsoft Word
available in the market today.
With these achievements, HyperVision has committed its efforts and focus
to the ongoing development, and distribution of innovative XML authoring solutions
contributing to maximum content richness.
