The Expanding World of XML Authoring

January 31, 2006

I have a new article in Intelligent Enterprise, XML Content Authoring For the Rest of Us. To quote from the intro:

XML authoring has long been viewed as difficult and arcane, and best left to specialists using complex thick-client software. Indeed, in some markets and applications, such as developing technical documentation for aircraft or automobiles, today’s preferred XML tools look and act much like the SGML authoring tools of 1992. The same products, including Adobe FrameMaker, Arbortext Epic and Blast Radius XMetaL, still dominate.

But the world is changing, with browser-based apps, XML-enabled eForms, and the XML capabilities in Microsoft Word. The article provides a brief survery of some of these changes.
