FLATIRONS TO SPEAK AT WORLDWIDE SOFTWARE DEVELOPER CONFERENCE

BOULDER, Colo. — Flatirons Solutions will deliver multiple presentations at the 6th Annual EMC Software Developers Conference, November 13-16, 2006, in San Francisco, California. The event focuses on advanced technical concepts related to content management solutions. As a leader in XML-based publishing and content management, Flatirons was asked to speak about the innovative solutions it has developed and delivered to a wide variety of clients and industries.

Flatirons will deliver two presentations:

Workflow Outsourcing with RESTful Web Services in PubFusion

Modern journal production spans the globe with numerous companies putting their comparative advantages to work in a shared workflow that produces high quality journals on a regular schedule for minimal cost. PubFusion provides a robust, yet conceptually simple Web Service interface that allows vendors and customers access into the PubFusion workflow and repository system with a streamlined API. Wolters-Kluwer and Flatirons Solutions chose RESTful Web Services to create a multiplatform API that allows vendors to integrate PubFusion into their existing automation systems simply and efficiently. RE.presentational S.tate T.ransformation is the fundamental technology of the World-Wide-Web applied to Workflow and Repository access. This talk will discuss REST at a high-level and then show how REST supplies a simplified model for integrating both Documentum and non-Documentum systems securely and simply. In today's competitive environment, monolithic integrations are a thing of the past. PubFusion and REST provides a flexible solution for excellence in a global game of productivity leapfrog.

Implementing DITA and Other XML Solutions in Documentum

The DITA standard introduces a new paradigm in authoring and managing XML content in a topic-oriented manner. Unlike previous standards such as DocBook, DITA allows for reuse of XML content by organizing it into smaller topic files, and allowing those topics to be referenced by “maps” and “conrefs”. It also includes more rigorous metadata standards to allow topics to be more easily found and reused across multiple outputs. This talk will show you best practices for implementing the DITA standard within Documentum, and compare it to other XML-based implementations such as DocBook.

In addition to the presentations, Flatirons, along with Documentum staff, will lead the “Advanced XML Seminar” – a highly-interactive group discussion covering advanced XML topics.
