Ixia's TextML Supports Adobe's XMP



Email    print   
March 15, 2003 —  Continuing its partnership with Adobe Systems Inc., Ixia Inc. will support Adobe's Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) in its forthcoming XML content server, TextML 2.3.

XMP, according to Ixia CEO Phillipe Gelinas, is an XML framework being built using the World Wide Web Consortium's Resource Description Framework (RDF)-the W3C's standard for metadata-and XML namespaces, and provides a way for developers to embed metadata inside application files.

"The idea of modifying application file formats to make them readable as XML blocks is worthwhile," Gelinas said, who added that the XMP

packets can include any XML schema, so long as it is described in RDF syntax.

With XMP, TextML users can process Adobe files directly by accessing the XML metadata, Gelinas explained, although he admitted it is unclear at this point if XMP will be picked up as an industry standard. "A sufficiently large number of Adobe users felt it was useful" for Adobe to develop it, Gelinas said. The work expands on a partnership with Adobe that began last fall when TextML was integrated with Adobe's FrameMaker XML authoring tool. TextML 2.3 was to be available earlier this month.

Ixia also announced the availability of an integration kit for Microsoft Content Management Server, a toolkit that hooks into a CMS application and automatically updates the underlying SQL database and TextML database whenever CMS site content is modified, Gelinas said.

.NET Composite Controls can be taken from the Visual Studio .NET toolbox by developers and dragged into a CMS site under development, allowing developers to add XML search and sort capabilities to deployed sites by leveraging the XML placeholder functionality of CMS. The integration kit is available from the Ixia Web site (www.ixiasoft.com).
