Right Hemisphere Announces XMetaL Integration to Fully Support Compliant 3D Visualization in DITA
Right Hemisphere® announced that its 3D visualization technology has been fully integrated with JustSystems XMetaL XML-based Authoring & Content Collaboration Software to deliver the most comprehensive solution for 3D DITA Documents. The integration between Right Hemisphere's Deep Exploration™ authoring solution and XMetaL® XMAX is being demonstrated this week at the CIDM DITA North America Conference in Baltimore. General release of the integrated product is scheduled for summer 2011.
This integration will enable Technical Writers and Illustrators to directly leverage 3D CAD product models within their documentation in a DITA compliant XML structured content format. "The partnership with Just Systems comes at an ideal time for both companies. DITA adoption is widespread on a global basis and the addition of 3D visual content frees the writer from extensive text, improving retention, accelerating learning and lowering translation costs as a result," said Right Hemisphere VP of Marketing Robert Merlo.
The addition of this visual information to the development of DITA standard document authoring processes will vastly improve the document authoring process, speed time to document publishing and ensure accuracy by utilizing the actual product model information directly from engineering -- thankfully without knowing how to use CAD.
"The partnership with Right Hemisphere greatly enhances the benefits of structured XML document authoring and publishing. We are aligned in our belief that ready access to 3D CAD product information and related business data is instrumental to improving technical publications processes, reducing costs to publish and accelerating product time to market," said Addam Smith, XMetaL Project Lead and Architect at JustSystems.
Demonstrations of the integrated solution will be done at the Right Hemisphere booth during the CIDM DITA North America Conference being held today through April 6th, or to see a recent webinar on the solution sponsored by Comtech Services, please visit:
