The recently announced Inmedius DITA Storm Suite, with four distinct software solutions to meet organizational requirements, enables users to easily create DITA-compliant content in WYSIWYG mode regardless of their DITA or XML knowledge.
Inmedius Advisor is new software tool that enables an organization to ensure the quality of its SGML and XML documents through the use of extensive quality validation rules. The latest Advisor release, Version 1.1, adds XML Path Language (XPath) rules, allows for logical groupings of rules, and expands attribute and reference validation options.
The desktop version can integrate with Arbortext Editor, Adobe FrameMaker, Altova XMLSpy and other SGML and XML editors. The server version provides a Web service that can fully integrate the quality assurance cycle into existing production processes and workflows.
