Subject: Re: OASIS Member News - Reuters and WAVO team up to launch NewsMLToolkit
Reuters, the global information, news and technology group, and leading
news software developer WAVO, have joined forces to launch the NewsML
Toolkit, a simple interface that facilitates the implementation of the
newly ratified NewsML standard.
Developed by Reuters and WAVO with the assistance of XML expert David
Megginson, the NewsML Toolkit offers developers with no prior XML
knowledge, a fast and simple way to analyse and filter multimedia NewsML
items using a JAVA API set with application layer.
NewsML is the new industry standard for delivering multi-media news.
Reuters conceived the idea for NewsML in 1999 and donated it to the news
industry for further development. The International Press
Telecommunications Council ratified NewsML in October 2000. NewsML
provides a common framework to publish news in any format. It can be
used by news providers to combine their pictures, video, text, graphics
and audio files into news output available on web sites, mobile phones,
high end desktops, interactive television and any other device. Further
information on NewsML is available at http://www.iptc.org
The NewsML Toolkit is being released as Open Source software under
version 2.1 of the "GNU Lesser General Public License" and Reuters and
Wavo will work with the IPTC to determine the best way of managing the
"public evolution' of the toolkit.
The NewsML Toolkit can be downloaded from the Reuters website at
http://about.reuters.com/researchandstandards/firstcontact/newsml-toolkit
and from http://www.xmlnews.org/NewsML/toolkit
Any questions on the use of the toolkit should be directed to:
newsml-toolkit-comments@xmlnews.org
