Noonetime Announces Release of Star Mapper, XML-based Translation Design Tool

Automatic, Seamless Mapping Between DTDs, Schemas, and XML Files

DENVER, CO --July 10, 2001-- As the adoption of XML among mainstream companies increases, Noonetime, a leading provider of XML-based content migration software tools, steps up once again to make the use of XML effortless. Noonetime today announces the release of Star Mapper, a translation design tool that automatically creates a mapping file between elements in different specification formats.

Star Mapper provides a simple user interface that displays two element trees. The user can map between components from a source DTD or Schema and a target DTD or Schema, simply by selecting the elements and clicking on a button to map. As the elements mapped, an XSL stylesheet specifying the transformation for an XML document is automatically created.

"Star Mapper completely removes the need of technical knowledge to generate XSL stylesheets for transformation." says Chris Ziener, President and CEO of Noonetime. "All of the technology sits behind the scenes, allowing you to map elements without ever having to deal with the code behind it."

Through the sharing of metadata definitions and the elimination of custom coding, the Star Mapper greatly reduces deployment time. The technical aspect is removed from the mapping process through the use of an easy-to-use graphical user interface with a back end that is fully extensible with powerful conversion semantics.

"Noonetime's tools have been instrumental in the generation of rich XML from many of our client's print assets," says one of Noonetime's leading clients Dave Dunbar, Director of Content Services at eLogic Corporation. "As a web ASP with a concentration on publishing and rapid deployment, we need to get our customers' information to multiple destinations in multiple formats - various flavors of HTML, XML for syndication, quickly. XML Xtract and Star Mapper fit in seamlessly with our overall production workflow and help us quickly convert client's print content to structured XML that gives us predictable behavior in its many destinations."
