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." ABOUT
