Altova Publishes its Free Authentic RSS Editing Solution


    Altova(R) (http://www.altova.com), creator of the industry-leading
    XMLSpy(R) XML editor and other popular XML, data management, UML, and
    Web services tools, today announced the availability of its FREE
    Authentic(R) RSS Editing Solution. A comprehensive, forms-based
    application developed for use with Altova Authentic 2007 Desktop
    Edition, the solution enables users to create, edit, and manage valid
    RSS 2.0 documents for publication on the Web. In addition to a helpful
    users' guide, the solution documentation provides a step-by-step
    overview of how this solution was developed and also indicates how a
    similar strategy could be used to solve other standards-conformance
    issues. The Authentic RSS Editing Solution and accompanying
    documentation are freely available on the Altova Web site.

    The free Altova Authentic RSS Editing Solution uses intuitive
    electronic forms to help guide the creation of valid RSS documents.
    This forms-based approach gives non-technical, business users an easy
    way to create and maintain RSS feeds, allowing them to focus on their
    content and not the underlying XML code. Using this simple, free
    solution, Web content editors, like PR professionals and marketing
    managers, can easily create valid RSS feeds that will keep subscribers
    up-to-date on their latest Web site news.

    The Altova Product Marketing team originally began building the
    RSS Editing Solution as simple tool for their PR Manager to use in
    publishing RSS feeds about press releases and newsletters. They soon
    realized, however, that the solution would also be useful to other
    organizations and could help illustrate how easily Altova's software
    tools can be used to build similar business solutions. Created
    exclusively using products from the Altova MissionKit(TM) - Altova
    XMLSpy, MapForce(R), StyleVision(R), UModel(R), and Authentic - the
    Authentic RSS Editing Solution is built to comply with the RSS 2.0
    specification. RSS 2.0 is an XML-based specification, but one that
    lacks an official XML Schema and diverges slightly from XML standards,
    presenting some development challenges and making for a very
    interesting case study.

    "At Altova, we like to use our own software tools to solve
    everyday business issues," said Tim Hale, Director of Marketing for
    Altova. "The fact that we can create a free solution, like the
    Authentic RSS editor, that anyone can use is a huge bonus. What's
    more, by publishing the case study, developers can learn from our
    experiences and apply the knowledge in their own development projects,
    or they can download a free trial of the Altova MissionKit and modify
    this solution at will."

    The RSS Editing Solution is based on the Altova Authentic Desktop
    Edition. Both Authentic and the Authentic RSS Editing Solution are
    available at no charge and can be downloaded at:

    In addition to the Authentic electronic forms for end users, the
    RSS Editing Solution download package contains all the files needed to
    customize or extend the application, including XML Schemas, MapForce
    data mapping files, XSLT stylesheets, UML diagrams, and project
    documentation. The products in the Altova MissionKit can be used to
    modify these files and the solution, or they can be used to build new
    applications, perhaps solving similar standards-conformance issues. To
