XMLSolutions Corp. recently
released Schema Central 1.0, an innovative product which
enables companies that are currently planning or using XML-based systems to
dynamically access XML Schemas and DTDs.
Additionally, Schema Central
reduces redundant development efforts and accelerates the time to market by
providing a centralized management facility for everything XML.
XMLSolutions believes that their products make XML manageable and keeps XML
from fractionating into different dialects. As the number of XML standards
increase, companies need a mechanism to managing those standards, including
RosettaNet, xCBL, FpML, cXML, FIXML, ebXML and Microsoft BizTalk, along
with their own internal standards. Schema Central provides a tool for
managing XML dialects and creating relationships between those dialects.
Schema Central provide mapping and transformation functions which enable
developers to map their own internal DTDs to external industry standard
DTDs. The product also provides a real-time DTD reference repository with
which developers can validate all XML documents without worrying about
where the physical DTDs are stored on the network.
Schema Central’s server-based pricing starts at $25,000.
