Integration and Collaboration Boost XML Authoring Tool

Toronto-based SoftQuad Software (www.softquad.com) has announced XMetal 3, an update of the company's XML authoring software that adds collaboration capabilities for content authors and support for W3C-standard schemas. XML schemas define common languages for business applications and enable companies to exchange information seamlessly.

XMetal 3's new content creation and collaboration tools include versioning, document previews, integration with Microsoft Office, support for document sharing via WebDAV and integration with content management systems from companies including Documentum and Interwoven. XMetal 3 also includes a new forms toolkit that provides common features such as radio buttons and check boxes. These features are mapped to XML elements and a Java API for integrating XMetal to integrate with Java-based applications.

XMetal 3 will be available in January 2002 for $495 per user.
