Abstract
Blast Radius, makers of the world's most user-friendly XML authoring software, today introduced XMetaL(R) 4.6, an upgrade with groundbreaking collaboration features that help creative teams produce content faster, easier, and more cost-effectively. Version 4.6 brings enhancements to all five applications in the XMetaL suite, including major design upgrades for XMetaL Reviewer and XMAX (XMetaL for ActiveX(R)). This release also introduces first phase support for topic-based authoring based on the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA).
XMetaL 4.6 marks the official release of XMetaL Reviewer, the world's first solution designed exclusively for reviewing XML content. A revolution in team collaboration, XMetaL Reviewer allows geographically dispersed authors and subject matter experts (SMEs) to review documents by exchanging feedback in context and in real time. This approach reduces the costly bottlenecks that often plague the document review process. A Web-based application, XMetaL Reviewer gives an edge to organizations that are grappling with vast quantities of ever-changing content.
XMetaL from Blast Radius simplifies the creation of critical business information and enables its fast and cost-efficient delivery to print, the Web and all other interaction points. The market's leading XML content creation and collaboration product, XMetaL maximizes a company's investment in content development across an extended enterprise. The XMetaL suite consists of five powerful products designed to meet the combined requirements of business people, IT managers and developers: XMetaL Author and XMAX (XMetaL for ActiveX) are used by content creators, and provide the only comprehensive XML solution available in both desktop and embeddable versions; XMetaL Reviewer is a real-time, in-context reviewing application for content creators; XMetaL Developer is used by developers to build custom solutions for content authors; and XMetaL Central is a server-based XML environment manager.
