Software AG, Inc. announced the general availability of XML Mediator, a tool for building XML information exchange hubs.

XML Mediator provides a framework for addressing the problem of diverse XML vocabularies in much the same way as humans have addressed it for centuries: discover patterns in the information, translate it to a more familiar terminology, and transcribe it into some standardized form.

XML Mediator has the ability to support data exchange standards such as ACORD, IFX, FIXML, PIDX and CIDX. www.softwareagusa.com
