Framemaker 7.0 integration with SiberSafe XML CMS

Teams using FrameMaker as their authoring tool have, till now, faced a large barrier to adopting XML as part of their collaboration and reuse strategy. Because of their large investment in legacy content, it has been largely impossible for these teams to make a clean transition to XML. With the introduction of FrameMaker 7.0 and SiberSafe 5, these teams can now enjoy all the benefits of XML such as reuse, single sourcing, collaboration on large documents and interoperation with other XML content creators.

Legacy Content Conversion – teams with an investment in content that resides in unstructured frame documents have not previously had a good way of converting those content assets to XML. SiberSafe 5 introduces the configurable MIF converter that allows any legacy frame content to be converted to XML. Depending on how well the converter is configured, the resulting XML will be valid or near valid, requiring only a few changes to be valid. The conversion process allows the document administrator to specify how the legacy content will be translated to XML.

XML Native Round Trip Editing – a new plug-in to FrameMaker allows editing of XML files and entities contained in SiberSafe repository within FrameMaker environment.

FrameMaker as an XML Publication engine – SiberSafe 5 includes a configurable FrameMaker publication driver that allows XML documents to be published to PDF using all the features of FrameMaker. Each document type (New release, product brochure, User’s Manual, etc.) can have its own template. The user can select which template to apply to the XML document.
