To support users in different languages, programs must not only use translated text, but must also be adapted to local conventions. These conventions differ by language or region and include the formatting of numbers, dates, times, and currency values, as well as support for differences in measurement units or text sorting order. Most operating systems and many application programs currently maintain their own repositories of locale data to support these conventions. But such data are often incomplete, idiosyncratic, or gratuitously different from program to program. The Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR) provides a general XML format for the exchange of locale information for use in application and system software development, combined with a public repository for a common set of locale data generated in that format. The Common Locale Data Repository was initially developed under the sponsorship of the Linux Application Development Environment (aka LADE) Workgroup of the Free Standards Group's OpenI18N team, with a 1.0 version released in January 2004. The founding members of the workgroup were IBM, Sun, and OpenOffice.org, later joined by Apple Computer. CLDR will be managed by a dedicated technical committee of the Unicode Consortium. CLDR version 1.1 is expected in mid-May 2004, and a beta 1.1 version is available now. www.unicode.org http://gilbane.com/content_management_news.pl/2004/4/content_management_news.html#3123 http://gilbane.com/content_management_news.pl/2004/4/content_management_news.html#3123 Tue, 20 Apr 2004 00:00:00 GMT SchemaLogic and Innodata Isogen announced they have formed a new business alliance.

ImageBridge Enterprise 2.0 allows companies to monitor use of image assets beyond their enterprise boundaries, expanding the scope of digital image management capabilities beyond the confines of corporate networks through: automated tracking and reporting of channel partner compliance with marketing programs by tracking use of images on the partner web sites, and automated searching for unauthorized uses of images on the public Internet, as part of a copyright compliance program, and integrating 'beyond-the-network' tracking with existing asset management systems. ImageBridge Enterprise 2.0 uses Digimarc digital watermarking to weave imperceptible identifiers into image assets, giving the image a unique identity, and providing a link between the distributed image and its owner. www.digimarc.com http://gilbane.com/content_management_news.pl/2004/4/content_management_news.html#3135 http://gilbane.com/content_management_news.pl/2004/4/content_management_news.html#3135 Fri, 16 Apr 2004 00:00:00 GMT Triplehash has released SiteBreeze, a cross-platform desktop-based content management system that creates static HTML websites based on one or more templates. Users can insert images directly from digital camera media, without needing to manually resize and recompress them beforehand to make them "web ready". A built-in scripting language gives the user the ability to create links that adapt as the content of the website changes. Being desktop-based, the content can be changed offline, and published later, so that dial-up users are not excluded from benefiting from content-management systems. SiteBreeze can be used to create multi-lingual, multiple-version websites. The built-in editor allows side-by-side translation of articles, and custom variables allow for easy changing of copyright notices, tentative dates and so on. The integrated Todo list assists in keeping track of tasks related to your site. Because SiteBreeze generates HTML sites, it works on all web servers. You don't need to set up any server software. SiteBreeze costs $145(US) for a single-user license, $130 per user for two licenses, and $95 per user for 3 or more licenses, with a source-code license available for $1500. SiteBreeze comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

This architecture consists of a set of design principles for creating "information-typed" modules at a topic level and using that content in delivery modes such as online help and product support portals. DITA is an open standards initiative to develop specialized data models for XML publishing applications that can readily adapt to the requirements of diverse applications while retaining both information and application compatibility. Starting with the DITA 'topic' data model, different groups can modify it to support their unique requirements without fear of breaking enterprise publishing software applications or creating incompatibilities with other groups or divisions that would prevent information sharing. DITA specializations can be "snapped on" as deltas to the base support, preventing the need to create or update massive DTDs. The core of DITA provides rich set of semantics for creating architected information. www.arbortext.com http://gilbane.com/content_management_news.pl/2004/4/content_management_news.html#3103 http://gilbane.com/content_management_news.pl/2004/4/content_management_news.html#3103 Tue, 13 Apr 2004 00:00:00 GMT SchemaLogic announced the addition of Earley and Associates, Carol Hert and Industrial Wisdom to the SchemaLogic solution partner program.

The XML architecture defined by the new OASIS DITA Technical Committee will be used to design, write, manage, and publish technical documentation in print and on the Web. Focusing on the 'topic' as a conceptual unit of authoring, DITA will extend existing content markup to represent domains of specialized markup common across sets of topics, e.g., hardware vs. software. Larger documents can be created by aggregating topic units. Content referencing combines several topics into a single document or allows content to be shared among topics. By enabling definitive semantics, DITA will allow more automatable processes, consistent authoring and better retrievability and applicability to specific industries. OASIS DITA Technical Committee members include Arbortext, Innodata Isogen, IBM, and others. The group brings together XML tools vendors, consultants on Information Architectures and Content Management Systems (CMS), and users of the DITA DTDs and Schemas. Participation remains open to all organizations and individuals. www.oasis-open.org/committees/dita http://gilbane.com/content_management_news.pl/2004/4/content_management_news.html#3097 http://gilbane.com/content_management_news.pl/2004/4/content_management_news.html#3097 Mon, 12 Apr 2004 00:00:00 GMT PaperThin, Inc. announced the availability of CommonSpot Content Server version 4.0, the company's Web content management solution.

"Search Incite" reads and understands how words are used in a sentence. Search Incite understands, for example, the distinctions between the word "mouse" as a computer component versus a rodent or "bass" as a fish, singer or an instrument, which helps streamline and refine the search focus for users. Search Incite works with almost every format of structured and unstructured data and all languages can be supported. It can also automate the metadata tagging process via the index and the XML translation process to standardize data definitions. Search Incite is for CRM vendors, enterprise portal management providers, consulting firms, corporate knowledge management providers, research firms, content providers, the legal industry, pharmaceutical industry, publishers and the financial services industry. The search engine can be deployed and priced on an annual license, subscription, ASP or OEM basis. www.minetech.com http://gilbane.com/content_management_news.pl/2004/4/content_management_news.html#3084 http://gilbane.com/content_management_news.pl/2004/4/content_management_news.html#3084
