The World Wide Web Consortium released “XML Schema Second Edition” as a W3C Recommendation in three parts: “Part 0: Primer,” “Part 1: Structures” and “Part 2: Datatypes.” The second edition is not a new version; it corrects errors found in the XML Schema first edition. A modular approach well-suited to distributed applications, XML schemas define shared markup vocabularies and the structure of XML documents using those vocabularies. www.w3.org

Vivisimo announced Vivisimo Velocity, rapid-deployment, customizable enterprise software that combines dynamic clustering, search and meta-search into one solution. Velocity is a comprehensive search solution that lets enterprise customers customize their crawling instead of “re-customizing” their content to fit the arbitrary requirements of other search solutions.

Velocity crawls textual information in databases, emails and files, meta searching external sources of information, and then integrating all of the results in easy-to-navigate clusters of information. As a result, knowledge workers can pull from multiple sources of disparate information–both corporate-owned and Web-based–and see it presented by theme. Vivisimo Velocity pricing starts at $10,000 per year and scales with the number of documents to be crawled or meta-searched. Velocity will ship within 30 days. www.Vivisimo.com
