XMLProbe Content Control Server is a cost-effective solution that fits well with our immediate needs for XML quality assurance and storage. And because it is built on open standards, we believe it will be readily and easily extended to meet our future requirements for onward processing of digital content.
— Andy Williams, Content Services Manager, Cambridge University Press
New thinking about content management ...
XMLProbe Content Control Server (XMLProbe CCS) does many of the things that some other 'content management', 'digital asset management' or 'repository' systems do. But with the unique feature of having content quality at its core.
- Store any kind of digital content in a managed repository
- Route content between supply-chain partners
- Develop ontologies and add rich data using flexible triple-based technology
- Full XML processing functionality: index, search, send and transform
- Build web-client multi-user workflow systems
- Use REST to open up inter-system communication
- Pure 100% Java
- Liberal dual-licensing
A robust technical base
XMLProbe CCS is based on open standards and proven commodity technology — 'four pillars' which act as its supporting technologies.
- the file system (for storing content)
- a database (for index-assisted access to content)
- Enterprise Java - all XMLProbe Content Control Server functionality is presented through Servlets
- an XML software suite
Excellent open-source options exist for each of these components, though there is no reason why the back-end RDMBS (say) shouldn't be a commercial SQL-savvy database such as Microsoft's SQL Server, or Oracle.
XMLProbe CCS is a software layer which integrates these components into a web-based application designed specifically to address the problems of storing and managing XML-based publishing data sets.
Award-winning modular architecture
An innovative open architecture makes it possible to develop add-in modules for the system that radically customise its behaviour and/or user interface, using Java APIs and XML.
Plugin development is not limited to Griffin Brown, but may be undertaken in-house or by other suppliers.
Liberal licensing arrangements
Licensees of XMLProbe Content Control Server get the complete Java source code for the system, relieving the anxieties over 'vendor lock-in' or worse.
