Content Structuring/Transformation
XML defines "external entities" as the only widely supported content reuse mechanism. Entities are XML fragments stored in a different file to the XML document. Entities are included in documents by reference. SiberSafe tracks the relationship between the external entities and the documents that use them, and the relationship between documents and the entities they use. SiberSafe provides many features that make it easy to create, find, use, and opt out of using external entities, such as:
Creating entities
Finding entities
- Select from a central alphabetically-sorted catalog of all entities defined in the repository
- Search via keywords that were specified by the user when the entity was placed in the entity catalog
- Search via keywords or phrases that are contained in the entity content itself
- Search via keywords that are contained in attributes to elements in the entity
Tracking reuse
Reusing entities
- An XML editor that allows inclusion of external entities, usually via the "insert" command. Entities included this way are discovered by SiberSafe when the author invokes the "Restore Entity References" command.
- SiberSafe's Document Composer provides a straightforward interface for XML content authors to find and include external entities into existing documents.
- SiberSafe's Document Builder enables non technical staff to enter criteria in queries included in document templates constructed by the document administrator. The result of the queries is a set of entities from which the user can preview and select those he wants to include in the custom document. The purpose of the Document Builder is to leverage product description content so members of the sales organization (for example) can create custom documents to meet the specific queries of different customers and prospects.
All three mechanisms are intended for use within the framework of a reuse architecture. While SiberSafe will support almost any reuse architecture, SiberLogic offers a white paper outlining a recommended reuse architecture for organizations that prefer not to develop their own.
