In.vision Research Corporation and netNumina announced the launch of a cooperative effort to bring the benefits of XML authoring and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to the biopharmaceutical industry. Xpress Author for Microsoft Word allows biopharmaceutical professionals to author documents in a Word environment without concern for the technical complexity of XML. In most cases the actual authoring is made easier than before by automatically pulling in required text objects as standard text. While this improves authoring and reuse of information, it also allows for structured XML information to be automatically extracted from these documents for use in portals, workflow and performance measurements. The following customized implementations of Xpress Author for Microsoft Word are targeted for the biopharmaceutical industry: Clinical program and clinical trial protocols, Pharmaceutical Product Labeling, Biopharmaceutical Research Documentation, and Manufacturing and Process Documentation. www.invisionresearch.com, www.netnumina.com
TRADOS Inc., announced the launch of TRADOS TeamWorks, a localization process management solution. The new offering is intended to transform the way localization and translation teams work – streamlining the entire process from creation to delivery. The goal is to maintain the integrity of critical information such as brand messaging, product information, internal documents, and other materials with legal and regulatory implications. With each additional participant in the process – many working in incompatible formats – the complexity of the process increases significantly as does the opportunity for costly inefficiencies and errors. TRADOS TeamWorks is designed to strengthen and optimize every link in the chain – tying together the work of content authors, project managers, project specialists, translators, quality assurance specialists and reviewers or editors. As a centralized collaboration platform, TRADOS TeamWorks also unifies the different formats, such as HTML and applications from Microsoft and Adobe. TRADOS TeamWorks capabilities include Web-accessible central translation memory, localization project management, collaborative workflow for process optimization, task-level automation, integrated quality assurance, and other functionality. www.trados.com

DOM Level 3 provides a standard set of objects for representing XML documents and data, including namespace, XML Base, and XML Schema datatypes support. DOM Level 2 was designed for HTML 4.01, XML 1.0, and Namespaces in XML. With DOM Level 3, authors can take further advantage of the XML platform. It provide support for XML 1.1 and is aligned with the XML Information Set, specification which is also used by other W3C Recommendations such as XML Schema 1.0 and SOAP 1.2. DOM Level 3 enhances the support for XML namespaces and schema-type information. It delivers critical functionalities for Web services applications, as well as other mainstream XML applications. www.w3.org
