  • 5 pack 5 users: $3,000

Beschreibung :Das im July 2000 herausgegebene Produkt WorX for Word SE implementiert die neueste WorX-Technologie für die Erstellung von XML-Dokumenten in Word. Diese Technologie ermöglicht auch die Konvertierung der nichtstrukturierten Dokumente nach XML.

Das Tool arbeitet mit XML-Dokumenten nur in Verbindung mit validen XML-DTDs oder XML-Schema-Strukturinfos (hier auch XDR -XML Data Reduced- genannt). Mit WorX Administrator kann man DTDs (oder XDRs) verwalten. Das Tool wir mit ein paar DTDs und XDRs mitgeliefert (Dokbook, u.a.). Die Liste dieser DTDs ist unendlich erweiterbar. WorX Administrator erzeugt und verwaltet alle XML-Dokumenttypen die mit WorX Se Plugin in Word editiert werden können.

Nachdem der Benutzer die Wahl eines Dokumententyps getroffen hat, kann er mit WorX SE Plugin in Word eine XML-Instanz erzeugen:
1. er tippt wie gewohnt seinen Text (die Arbeitsumgebung ist dieselbe wie in Word ohne WorX SE Plugin), oder fügt mit Copy and Paste seinen schon editierten Text ein. Anschließend ordnet er die Strukturelemente manuell zu ( markieren der betroffenen Textstelle; Aktivieren des Knopfes Taggers, der die Anzeige der zugelassenen Elemente an der Stelle ermöglicht; Wahl eines Elementes von dieser Liste).
2. nur eine Voreinstellung im WorX Administrator kann die manuelle Zuordnung vermeiden. Hier können den einzelnen Strukturelementen verschiedene Templates ( Element, Table, List, ListItem, Picture, Hyperlink) zugeordnet werden. Nachdem diese Einstellungen durchgeführt wurde, kann die Aktivierung eines Knopfes in WorX Se (Structure from Style) ein automatisches Mapping der Elemente starten. (diese Feature funktioniert in der Evaluationsversion nicht)

WorX Se Information Retriever Client ist ein Viewer für valide und wohlgeformte XML-Dokumente.
