Venetica Corporation announced the release of VeniceBridge 4.0, a software solution that organizations use to integrate portals, collaborative applications, customer relationship management and other key applications with relevant content. At the heart of VeniceBridge is a single, consistent interface that enables applications to quickly integrate with the multiple, disparate repositories that store documents, images, reports, rich media and other relevant content. VeniceBridge can then aggregate, deliver and exchange the content with other applications in real time. VeniceBridge 4.0 includes new features that simplify deployment and speed time to market, provide a framework for real-time content collaboration, strengthen Internet accessibility through SOAP-based Web services, and expand the reach of VeniceBridge to leverage content not stored within traditional content management systems. VeniceBridge 4.0 will be available in October 2001. VeniceBridge 4.0 systems start at $75,000. www.venetica.com
Adobe Systems Incorporated unveiled new technology behind the Adobe family of products that streamlines workflows saving time and money for publishers. Called XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform), this framework enhances workflows so that content can be applied seamlessly between print, Web, eBooks and other media. XMP provides Adobe applications and partners with a common metadata framework that standardizes the creation, processing and interchange of document metadata across publishing workflows. XMP will be incorporated into all Adobe products eventually and is available for developers via a software development kit (SDK). Users will benefit from XMP’s ability to contain metadata within application files. The SDK is available as a guide for integration to non-Adobe applications and contains sample source code for extracting and parsing the XMP packets. XMP was first introduced with the release of Acrobat 5.0 in April 2001. Adobe also announced that InDesign 2.0 and Illustrator 10 have incorporated XMP. XMP is scheduled to be integrated into the next generation of all Adobe applications. XMP components include a framework, schema, XML packet technology and the SDK. The SDK is available through Adobe’s Solutions Network. www.adobe.com

Software AG, Inc. and PureEdge Solutions, Inc. announced a joint marketing and sales campaign of their complementary XML products. Together the company’s products enable commercial and government organizations to more quickly and easily move important documents and transactions online. PureEdge Internet Commerce System allows users to design, deploy, complete, and digitally sign intelligent and enforceable XML documents. In an enforceable transaction, all components of an e-document are saved as a complete object – complete with layout, logic, content – using XFDL technology to ensure no component of the final document can be modified. Because both products are native XML, complete solutions for creating, processing, and archiving enforceable documents are easy to build, maintain, and integrate with other XML applications. www.pureedge.com/products/ics/index.htm, www.softwareagusa.com
