Altova XMLSpy Enterprise delivers all the power you need to create advanced XML applications, yet at the same time it’s flexible enough to allow you to work with XML using the views and options that best suit your business needs and working preferences. XMLSpy increases productivity by allowing you to develop higher-quality, standards-conformant XML-based applications more quickly than ever before. Designed to increase your XML development productivity from start to finish.

XMLSpy abstracts away the complexity of working with XML-based technologies through its intuitive user interface and rich variety of editing views and options. Five synchronized editing views allow you to work with any XML technology in a way that best suits the complexity of the document and your preferences, for instance, if you prefer to develop in a text view, graphical view, or switch back and forth between the two.

The intelligent editing features of XMLSpy support auto completion, context sensitive syntax help, entry helpers, syntax coloring, and more to aid you in creating valid XML documents. The XMLSpy views and intelligent editing functions are designed to make working with documents as easy as possible. When working with XML is easy, productivity increases, saving money and decreasing time-to-market for your applications.

Altova MapForce Enterprise uniquely lets you map data in an intuitive, visual manner. Then it auto-generates the program code or stylesheets required to implement your Web services and custom data integration applications server-side.

MapForce supports the following functionality:

Graphical data mapping

Executing and saving mapping output

Bi-directional XML, database, flat file and EDI data mapping

Advanced data processing functions

Mapping data to WSDL operations

Visual function builder for creating custom functions

Building Web services

Project view for organizing mappings

Mapping multiple sources to multiple targets

Seamless integration with Eclipse and Visual Studio

XSLT 1.0, XSLT 2.0, XQuery generation

Java, C#, C++ program code generation

Altova StyleVision Enterprise features a unique graphical design interface for creating stylesheets to transform XML and database data into multiple output formats. Because StyleVision produces standards-conformant XSLT 1.0, XSLT 2.0, and XSL:FO stylesheets, plus HTML, Word/RTF, PDF, and Authentic form output simultaneously, based on one design, developers and designers no longer need to spend countless hours hand-coding and testing intricate stylesheets to implement single source publishing and database reporting solutions. StyleVision features and functionality include:

Enhanced, highly intuitive graphical design interface

Support for built-in and imported CSS styles

Visual, drag & drop stylesheet design

Support for JavaScript functions and a JavaScript editor

Support for DTD, XML Schema, and relational database sources

Standards-conformance: XSLT 1.0/2.0, XPath 1.0/2.0, XSL:FO

Altova UModel 2008 is the starting point for successful software development. Visually design application models in UML and generate Java, C#, or Visual Basic .NET code and project documentation. Or, reverse engineer existing programs into UML 2 diagrams, then fine tune your designs and complete the round trip by regenerating code. UModel makes visual software design practical for any project. It is a simple, cost-effective way to draw on UML.

UModel 2008 combines a rich visual interface with superior usability features to help level the UML learning curve, yet it also includes high-end functionality to empower users with the most compelling advantages of UML software development.

UModel 2008 Enterprise Edition can integrate and operate inside either of these integrated development environments (IDEs), adding exciting new functionality. When using UModel 2008 within these multi-purpose IDEs, a developer can open a UModel project in one window and the associated application code in a source code editor in another. Automatic synchronization can be set in either or both directions to instantly update the UML model or source code whenever changes are made to the other. This allows developers to instantly see the impact of application revisions, whether implemented in the model or directly in source code.

Altova SchemaAgent Enterprise is a graphical schema administration tool that allows you to view a collection of schemas as a pool of resources. SchemaAgent also allows you to view schemas used as data sources and/or targets in Altova MapForce data mapping designs.

Altova SchemaAgent includes the SchemaAgent client and a SchemaAgent Server. The SchemaAgent Server is installed on one computer in your workgroup and can be configured to connect to any standard file repository on your network or on the Internet. Once the SchemaAgent Server is configured with your desired file paths, it builds an internal map of the relationships between all schemas (.XSD) and MapForce mapping design files (.MFD) in the defined server paths. Any number of SchemaAgent clients may connect to the SchemaAgent Server to have access to all these schemas.

Altova SemanticWorks allows you to graphically create and edit RDF instance documents, RDFS vocabularies, and OWL ontologies with full syntax checking. Context-sensitive entry helpers present you with a list of permitted choices based on the RDF or OWL dialect you’re using, so you can create valid documents quickly and easily.

SemanticWorks provides, easy-to-use functionality for:

Visual creation and editing of RDF, RDF Schema (RDFS), OWL Lite, OWL DL, and OWL Full documents using an intuitive, visual interface and drag-and-drop functionality

Syntax checking to ensure conformance with the RDF/XML specifications

Auto-generation and editing of RDF/XML or N-triples formats based on visual RDF/OWL design

Printing the graphical RDF and OWL representations to create documentation for Semantic Web implementations

DiffDog indicates differences visually, allowing you to quickly identify changes. For optimal efficiency, you can edit documents directly within the differencing interface, merge changes, and instantly re-compare the edited files.

DiffDog provides the same capabilities for directory comparisons, allowing you to compare and merge directories, and open and edit the file pairs directly from the directory comparison display.

Intelligent XML Differencing

In addition to text file and directory comparisons, DiffDog Professional Edition supports intelligent XML differencing features and options, such as DTD/schema-based validation, well-formedness checking, intelligent entry helpers, and much more to help you compare and merge XML files in an intelligent manner. The DiffDog XML differencing capabilities are completely customizable. For example, you can specify if entities should be resolved, if namespace prefixes, whitespace, CDATA, processing instructions, comments, or the ordering of attributes/child elements should be ignored or not, how to visualize differences, and so on. DiffDog Professional Edition also allows you to compare XML files in advanced text view or the indispensable grid view popularized by Altova XMLSpy.
