Verity Enhances KeyView SDK

Verity Inc. announced the release of its Verity KeyView Software Development Kits (SDKs) targeted for integration with enterprise applications. The SDKs provide users access to a wide range of intellectual capital in 295 file formats and more than 70 languages. By applying an XML vocabulary to the data structures in documents, KeyView Export makes it possible to index and search content and metadata in context. Verity KeyView Export can also automatically convert documents to HTML. The Verity KeyView Filter SDK lets applications filter and extract text from multiple formats on a wide variety of platforms. KeyView Filter automatically recognizes file types and applies the correct filter without relying on filename extensions. For proprietary file formats not directly supported, the KeyView Filter SDK also provides customers the flexibility to quickly build custom filters to meet their unique business requirements. The SDK’s threadsafe process design eliminates the need to queue multiple documents for sequential filtering, allowing multiple documents to be filtered simultaneously. www.verity.com

Adobe Acquires XML vendor Yellow Dragon Software

Adobe Systems Incorporated announced that it has acquired the technology assets of Yellow Dragon Software, a developer of XML messaging and metadata management software. The acquisition will deliver technology for Adobe’s XML architecture which enables businesses and governments to combine XML and Portable Document Format (PDF). Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Yellow Dragon provides a commercial, off-the-shelf ebXML (Electronic Business eXtensible Markup Language) solution using an XML registry, as well as a messaging product, for delivering XML messages between servers. By enabling native support for ebXML transactions within the Adobe Intelligent Document Platform and PDF, Adobe is making it faster and easier for organizations to automate their external business processes. Adobe plans to integrate this technology into its server products next year. ebXML is an XML specification that provides a standard method to exchange business messages, conduct trading relationships, communicate data in common terms, and define and register business processes. Adobe believes this acquisition will not have a material financial impact on the company. www.yellowdragonsoft.com, www.adobe.com
