In a commercial
environment where content validation is important, XMLProbe makes
sense because it saves time and effort.

… it
is a bit scary to see how many problems it is finding! I can only hope the editors
spotted them when they were proofing.

were instrumental in the successful implementation of The validation project 'Phase-1'
for Blackwell Publishing Ltd. They provided the heart of the system which was the
validation rules engine, which unlike many products in the software industry today
proved a very good 'fit for purpose' solution. Their chosen technology (XML-based) was
open, flexible and very scalable—all the qualities needed in software to
enable Blackwell's business to change with minimum impact on the supporting software
systems architecture.

With Wiley's
XML-first objective, it's hard to overstate the importance of accurate tagging. Any
markup errors have the potential to damage all of the presentations (print, online,
derivative products) now and in the future.

Cambridge
University Press is acquiring XML for all of its academic books and journals and, in the
process, is accumulating huge quantities of structured data. Careful planning of XML
coding and application of appropriate methods of quality assurance are essential to
avoid accumulation of correspondingly large amounts of rubbish.
— Rod Mulvey, Director of Digital Services, Cambridge University Press
The unfortunate fact is that XML validation systems based only on DTD or W3C XML Schema are completely inadequate when:
- checking for the type of content constraints that really matter in live production environments,
- differentiating between levels of importance in the actual reporting of errors,
- emitting clear and actionable error notifications that users can actually understand.
Now - doing something effective about XML data quality
An efficient XML-aware QA system does not have to involve expensive bespoke development. With XMLProbe it is possible to put an effective and flexible XML quality assurance system quickly in place within any data management structure.
With XMLProbe you can:
- Reduce costs caused by poor-quality XML data
- Ensure standards compliance for your submission and receipting systems
- Go beyond the level of validation that XML DTDs and Schemas offer
- Have the means to implement an effective XML data quality policy
- Manage content by producing informative at-a-glance quality reports
