Dordan Mechanical Ltd., Kitchener, Ontario:

Dordan Mechanical Ltd. is an XML-driven web content solution. Altova XML Spy acts as a Content Management System. The information structure of the site content is defined in an XML Schema. Authoring is accomplished by dropping pre-defined tags from the XML Schema into the graphical authoring editor. The site is dynamically built using XSLT. Site content is accessed from a secure centralized web repository for editing and the generated web site is finally published to a web server. The solution makes use of XML technologies such as XHTML, SVG, CSS, XML Schema and XSLT. Further, Macromedia Flash MX Content and CGI Scripts are generated from XML source documents.

Proposal - Grand River Valley Construction Association:

The XML processing is accomplished using the Java & XML application framework Cocoon from the Apache Software Foundation. Cocoon also aggregates information called from external XML sources such as Moreover News Feeds, or Amazon Web Services. Further, HP Semantic Lab's Jena RDF framework is used by calling RDF queries from Cocoon's pipeline as XML over HTTP. HP's Joseki RDF Server acts as the front end to retrieve queries from Jena's virtual layer over MySQL. This design was used in the Content Management Solution of the Seattle Law School (recent XML World Europe conference).

Definiens Informatics, Munich, Germany:

Definiens AG's Knowledge Management product PolyMind (PolyMind was phased out in 2005) was targeted as a Question-Answering System for the financial domain. PolyMind processes natural language queries and retrieves matching documents. PolyMind is a Java based solution using a semantic network (ontology) as a configuration file for search in document collections. We constructed the comprehensive financial ontology EconomyNet based on the Reuters 21578 test collection corpus. The ontology was merged with Princeton WordNet. CIA Factbook and Bloomberg's financial glossary, as well as macroeconomic and financial modeling theory were used as additional references. EconomyNet is constructed in a XML data format using a Java client authoring editor.

Institute for International Economics - UMunich, Germany:

The Institute for International Economics at University of Munich publishing solution included a web site and course materials, journal articles. The institute staff was given a uniform presentation template. Course materials and journal articles were constructed using the TEX publishing and documentation language and later transformed to Postscript and Acrobat. The Institute managed the transition from using MS Word for all their publishing needs to using TEX over a half a year.

The Institute's main research activity is a project analyzing foreign direct investment in Eastern Europe. A web-based data entry software solution was developed using Perl and MySQL to record survey data. Further, data mining activity was performed on the extensive data set using mostly SPSS Syntax Scripts.
