Review ZapNote: Chrome Systems ZapNote: An XML-based Automobile Configuration Format / ZapThink, LLC:Many XML formats have been created in attempts to standardize various industries (over 500 by ZapThink's latest count), but none have squarely addressed the needs for configuration and "order option rules" for the automotive industry. As such, Chrome Systems, a leader in automotive configuration software has created and released AutoTransmission, an XML format for specifying rules for ordering configurable automotive components. While specific to the automotive industry, much can be learned from how Chrome Systems has approached this specific need, and many of the elements may be applicable to other similar industries.

Review ZapNote: Epigraph ZapNote: Managing Ontologies and XML Data / ZapThink, LLC:The theory of the Semantic Web is that systems can interact autonomously by sharing a language as well as a logical framework for making decisions. Powered by XML and RDF, the Semantic Web offers a mechanism for informing systems of the context or intent of the information described. A core element of any Semantic Web system is the maintenance of a storage repository for ontologies and instance documents. Many Semantic Web systems thus become, in effect, Content Management system, enabling the management of vast amounts of XML data and providing mechanisms for users to edit and maintain ontologies. Epigraph's flagship product, Xcellerant, provides a visual and architectural management tool for housing all of the discrete components necessary for instituting a functional Semantic Web system, including workflow, version control, check- in/check-out, XML schema validation, ability to call elements via Web Services, user management and control, visual representation of data elements, and abstraction of the file management interface.

Review ZapNote: Corel ZapNote: Advancing XML Content Creation / ZapThink, LLC:In 2001, Corel began an aggressive campaign to add XML to their advanced publishing products line. They realized that XML could take content development and management to a new level. XML lets users create content that they can categorize, search, re-use, and format automatically. No one understood the power of XML better than SoftQuad, which Corel acquired in 2001. SoftQuad had long played an instrumental role in the development of document-centric technologies. Corel recently shared with ZapThink its strategy for tying together its SoftQuad, Ventura Publisher, and other product lines into a cohesive mix applicable for content developers and publishers alike. The results offer a compelling set of solutions for the corporate enterprise looking to adopt XML as a component of its content development and delivery.
