POET Software announced that they have become a member of Allaire Corporation’s Allaire Alliance Partner program. POET Software has developed Web Plug-ins that integrate POET’s Content Management Suite (CMS) 2.0 with Allaire’s ColdFusion to provide more flexible and robust solutions for Web-based XML/SGML content management and delivery. The CMS Web Plug-ins for ColdFusion allow dynamic, Web-based XML and SGML management and delivery to any Internet browser. POET’s Content Management Suite version 2.0 is the industry’s only second-generation XML content server. Founded on POET’s object-based XML technology, CMS 2.0 simplifies XML publishing for the technical documentation market. The CMS Web Delivery Plug-in works with ColdFusion to dynamically deliver SGML/XML content to the Web. By converting SGML/XML to HTML, applying presentation and navigation on the fly, the need for HTML page management is eliminated. In addition, the CMS Web Delivery Plug-in leverages SGML/XML’s separation of content from formatting to let publishers create multiple content views for personalized content. www.poet.com.

Hynet Technologies announced the availability of HynetDirective 2.5, an XML-based content management system that transforms static document files into dynamic, reusable Information Units (IUs) for publishing to the Web and print. Hynet Directive 2.5 is designed to rapidly build Dynamic Customer Content (DCC) — information tailored to the specific needs of individual customers — for publishing to multiple mediums. Hynet Directive 2.5 is a single source system that captures documents created in familiar word processing applications, such as Microsoft Word, Adobe FrameMaker and XML and transforms the data blocks (paragraphs, graphics, definitions) within them into Information Units. Then, by attaching specific metadata to the IUs, they are essentially “tagged” and stored in a repository that can be accessed across the corporate environment. Information can then be recalled by virtue of the “tag” and the IUs can be reused and re-purposed to create varied pieces of corporate knowledge. The collateral can take the form of a Web site or print. www.hynet.com.
