XML Content Management: XyEnterprise Releases Contenta DITA Version 1.4
XyEnterprise, a developer of award-winning XML content management and multi-channel delivery solutions recently announced the release of Contenta DITA 1.4 – the next generation of DITA-based content management software.
The software's new features extend DITA Specialization support to all out-of-the-box tools, enhance DITA Author Support for the latest authoring tools, provide collaborative review using XMetaL Reviewer, support the latest version of the DITA Open Toolkit, integrate seamlessly with SDL's Translation Management System, and provide enhanced graphics support for print and online delivery formats.
"With the release of Contenta DITA 1.4, we're putting greater control in the hands of the end user," says Debra Boczulak, Contenta Product Manager, XyEnterprise. "Together, Contenta and DITA can help companies reduce the cost and learning curve of implementing a component-based solution."
Highlights of the latest version of XyEnterprise's Contenta DITA solution include:
SDL Translation Management Integration: A seamless integration with SDL's Translation Management System that allows end users to upload only those topics requiring translation, track the status of translated topics while in the TMS, and import translated topics back into the Contenta repository as soon as available – reducing time to market for product launches and updates.
DITA Specialization: With Contenta DITA 1.4, specialization is easily configurable, with no customization required. Specialization allows sites to add new data types to support unique requirements. Because specialized objects are based on known types (a specialized Task is still a Task), specialization enables a shared understanding of information across groups, saving time and presenting a consistent picture to customers.
DITA Author Support: XyEnterprise continues to support the latest DITA offerings of the major XML Authoring tools - Arbortext Editor 5.3, FrameMaker 7.2 and XMetaL 5.0 Enterprise Edition, so authors can use the XML editing tools they are already familiar with, reducing the learning curve and cost associated with training.
XMetaL Reviewer Integration: With a seamless integration to XMetaL Reviewer that enables robust collaborative review, Contenta DITA 1.4 provides detailed reports of all editorial activity during the review cycle. Since XMetaL Reviewer is integrated with XMetaL Author, the document owner has greater control over the approval and modification of a document within a workflow.
Enhanced Graphics Support: Contenta DITA 1.4 can store and deliver any graphic type to the DITA Open Toolkit for print or online delivery formats, including mobile devices that require new graphic types that aren't typically used in online and PDF deliveries.
DITA Open Toolkit 1.3.1 Support: The DITA Open Toolkit is an important component in most DITA implementations. XyEnterprise is committed to supporting the DITA standard and integrating with current versions of the open source toolkit.
The Contenta DITA 1.4 solution will be featured in an upcoming press and analyst briefing series, taking place in August and September. To see a demonstration of XyEnterprise's latest technology, please contact Mary Parsons (mary.parsons@xyenterprise.com).
