Hi all, First post to the list so here goes, have you heard of the following software used in editing/producing XML: http://link.altova.com/products_ide.html Hope this helps Andy Andy Prue Web Development Librarian Health Libraries Network http://stlis.thenhs.com -----Original Message----- From: General DCMI discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Kelly A Green Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2005 2:00 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: adaptable texts (tool)? It seems to me that you are describing a content management system that provides back-end access. However, these are far from simple and we found that we were either unable to control the metadata being entered (which is important to us as we have an agency taxonomy of terms to be used); they were unable to handle the DC formats; or they were unable to be customized. That being said, I have encountered lower cost and/or open source CMS applications in the last 2 years since we conducted an RFP that appear to address these issues much better. Most such applications do not come w/DC as the default metadata scheme. However, many of them can be customized to adhere to DC. We use Plumtree Enterprise Portal and had our 3rd party vender add the needed DC data and ensure that the proper DC construction is implemented in the XML/XHTML output.

Dear dc-general Expanding on Laura Akerman's request for tools to edit Dublin Core and other metadata records in XML, we are very keen to find a simple, easy to use tool that will help create a structured text with a variable set of outputs such as Word (or some printable format) as well as HTML, XML and even RDF. Right now, it appears that the only tool available to create a structured text is MS Word/Outline. However, when you save it as HTML, the result is clunky and full of (undesirable) MS proprietary markup that requires so much rework that it is quicker to write the HTML from scratch (ditto the XML). This would seem like such a basic thing that we all should be able to create adaptable texts with multiple manifestations that there must be something out there - any ideas?
