Justsystem announced the availability of a preview version of xfy technology, a new platform for creating, integrating and expressing XML-based applications. xfy introduces an intension-oriented document handling paradigm that enables the re-use of functional modules among several applications. Specifically, xfy’s basic architecture supports a direct relationship between source and presentation vocabularies, creating a true semantic basis for XML. This mapping is made possible by xfy’s Vocabulary Connection technology. The Vocabulary Connection technology also eliminates the need to develop application-specific modules for XML interpretation by supporting the use of easy-to-integrate plug-ins to streamline the application development process. xfy’s architecture, which is able to process many different types of XML documents as true compound documents, is targeted at a sophisticated enterprise IT landscape. Furthermore, a user or developer can easily define and construct an optimal application environment for his or her own needs. Starting today, a preview version of xfy technology can be downloaded at www.xfytec.com, www.justsystem.com
Open Text Corporation said it is launching a new collaboration platform that will create a new way to work online. Called Livelink Touchpoint, the solution unifies Web conferencing, blogs, team workspaces, Instant Messaging and the ability to see the online presence of others into a single, seamless interface – a complete contextual collaboration platform to make communication and online work easier. Livelink Touchpoint is the first of many solutions to be based on Open Text’s new services-oriented development platform, called the Livelink ECM Services Architecture, also announced. Livelink Touchpoint is designed to better match the dynamics of human interaction, while eliminating the need for users to switch between applications to use different collaboration tools. For example, a user can see the presence of a co-worker online, Instant Message that person, then, with one click and within the same interface, quickly escalate that interaction into a Web meeting where the two can share documents or “white board” ideas. If necessary, the two can involve others and create a team workspace for an ongoing project. All collaboration occurs within the Livelink Touchpoint interface, with only a single click needed to add tools as the interaction progresses. Livelink Touchpoint also offers access to electronic content throughout the organization so users can easily access the information they need as they work with others online. Over the next year, Open Text will add new capabilities to further develop Livelink Touchpoint as a core collaboration interface for the Livelink ECM suite. Future enhancements include video, voice and mobile device integration. www.opentext.com/touchpoint
