Interwoven Inc. and Venetica announced that they have signed an agreement allowing Interwoven to sell Venetica’s VeniceBridge product and the new Content Provider for TeamSite.

For example, a manager preparing for a product launch will now be able to access existing documents such as technical publications and regulatory submissions housed in various repositories. Once available to TeamSite, Interwoven MetaTagger, Interwoven’s enterprise metadata solution, will enable users to enrich and repurpose content across initiatives, including enterprise portals, CRM and eCommerce. www.venetica.com, www.interwoven.com

eXcelon Corporation announced Release Three of its eXtensible Information Server (XIS), its native XML database management system. Release Three is focused on improving speed and throughput through refinements to its XML node-level management capability and broadening support for software platforms and connectivity in J2EE environments. XIS stores XML directly in the XML Document Object Model (DOM). XIS can accommodate changes to XML document structure and data in real-time, by operating only on the exact XML element or sub-element needed to support a business process or transaction. Node-level management coupled with distributed in memory caching and locking system increases throughput. Release Three has been updated to include initial support for XQuery, XPath 1.0, XSLT 1.0 including Java extensions (in anticipation of the XSLT 2.0 standard), and XML Schema 1.0. Pricing for XIS starts at under $30,000 for five developer seats and a development server. www.exceloncorp.com
