Atomz announced enhancements to its enterprise Web content management solution, Atomz Publish, and Web site search application, Atomz Search. Atomz Search can now crawl and index Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel file formats. Visitors at Web sites that use Atomz Search will be able to see and directly access Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel documents from within the search results. In addition, Atomz Search customers can utilize the Metadata Management Interface to associate metadata with Microsoft Office documents and control the positioning of these documents within the search results. Search now provides support for Korean language searching, including a dictionary and full character set encodings. Search customers can now create scripts that modify content between when it is crawled and when it is indexed. Atomz added tags that allow Atomz Publish customers to incorporate non-HTML content such as JavaScript, PHP and ASP code; to define values (including text, HTML or nested Atomz Publish tags) which may be reused anywhere on templated pages; and to display content conditionally depending on the mode Atomz Publish is in: Edit, Preview or Publish. Atomz Publish can now upload multiple files into the system at a time. www.atomz.com

Raining Data Corporation announced availability of the developer release of its TigerLogic XML Data Management Server (XDMS) V1.0 on Windows 2000 and Windows XP. TigerLogic XDMS is information infrastructure software that provides scalability, XA-compliant transactional integrity and fine-grain search capabilities, as well as the dynamic extensibility, n-tier hierarchies and ease of use and deployment. Developers use J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA), and XML Schema, XSLT, SOAP and XPath to store and retrieve information and “eliminate the need for XML to relational data mapping”. TigerLogic XDMS bridges the gap between structured and unstructured data and provides a significant gain in performance of XML data access. TigerLogic XDMS complements Enterprise Application and Information Integration (EAI and EII), RDBMS and application server software to provide a high-performance XML-querieable and extensible mid-tier platform for storage of business information and application meta-data. Developers can tap into business intelligence across structured operational data stores (ODS) residing in RDBMS as well as unstructured flat-file text documents, images, email and spreadsheets housed in shared file systems or content repositories. The developer release of Raining Data’s TigerLogic XDMS is available for Windows 2000 and XP. Product license fee pricing starts at $25,000 per server. Availability on Solaris, Linux and other platforms is scheduled for 2003. www.rainingdata.com
Members of the OASIS standards consortium have formed a technical committee to develop standards to automate the translation and localization process as a Web service. The effort brings together DataPower, IBM, the Localisation Research Centre, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, and others in a collaboration that will use Web services as the backbone to a workflow linking the tasks that comprise a complex software localization project. The new OASIS Technical Committee will concentrate first on defining service types that are relevant to the software/content localization and translation industry. Their specification will drive the development of WSDL documents that will ultimately be published in a UDDI registry and potentially also in an ebXML registry. The OASIS Translation Web Services Technical Committee joins another localization effort at OASIS — one that works to develop an XML Localization Interchange File Format (XLIFF). The two groups plan to coordinate their efforts. www.oasis-open.org
