FileNet Corporation unveiled a comprehensive ECM compliance management framework. Leveraging the FileNet P8 platform, FileNet’s Compliance Framework is intended to manage three elements of compliance. First, it helps companies put in place processes to react to changing regulations. Secondly, it provides organizations with the ability to manage content. Finally, the framework can connect with various legacy systems found throughout the enterprise. The FileNet Compliance Framework helps to provide consistency across the organization and better control in the management of records and business processes by tracking real-time information on who’s done what, where, and across which departments. This helps validate the process of how information was gathered for internal auditors and external regulators, and allows them to see how and why decisions were made. The FileNet Compliance Framework provides an event-driven architecture, which can identify and initiate responses to material events, such as a change in a financial report. FileNet’s Compliance Framework is scheduled for availability during the second quarter of 2004. www.filenet.com

Universal Conversion Technologies (UCT) announced the release and availability of version 3.0 of their Data Conversion Architecture (DCA) product. DCA 3.0 is designed specifically for the conversion of large legacy system record files to XML-based systems. The target XML systems can include any XML schemas, including the ACORD XML standard schemas. DCA 3.0 offers two strategies for converting legacy records to XML. Users can import an entire XML schema as a target (or any manageable subsection of a schema) and can map from their existing legacy system records. Users can also choose to create one-to-one mappings of individual XML elements. After mapping is completed, DCA 3.0 automatically generates the conversion programs to convert legacy system data into XML streams, which can be fed to the target system through the DCA browser. DCA 3.0 includes enhanced record definition and XML schema management, with the ability to view, download, and export record definitions and XML schemas. When DCA automatically creates a datamap, insurers can now determine whether the map is a standard map, a balance map or a special-purpose map. www.uctcorp.com
Members of the international standards consortium, OASIS, have organized to create a standard for sharing, linking, and synchronizing data over the Internet and other networks using XML documents and Extensible Resource Identifiers (XRIs). XRI is a URI-compatible abstract identifier scheme also developed within OASIS. The new OASIS XRI Data Interchange (XDI) Technical Committee will enable implementers to automatically interchange XDI documents and to express controls over the authority, security, privacy, and rights of shared data as XDI links. XDI will address interoperable, automated data interchange across distributed applications and trust domains. OASIS XDI Technical Committee members include representatives of AMD, AmSoft Systems, Booz Allen Hamilton, Cordance, Epok, Neustar, NRI, and others. Participation remains open to all organizations and individuals; OASIS will host a mail list for public comment. www.oasis-open.org
