SDL LiveContent - The New Publishing Paradigm

SDL LiveContent - The New Publishing Paradigm

SDL LiveContent was recognized by KMWorld as a trend-setting product for 2009, the fourth year in a row that a product from the team at SDL Structured Content Technologies has received this recognition.  Why choose SDL LiveContent?  It represents a new, dynamic publishing paradigm - one that surpasses the older, static approach to publishing.  SDL LiveContent's dynamic approach enables you to deliver content targeted to the customers who need it, in the format they want, and for the situation in which they will use it.  The dynamic quality of LiveContent is why we call it "live."  It carries the full richness of the mark-up of your XML content, right up to the moment the content is requested - and only then does it pull from the repository the content for the specific product requested.  It delivers that content in the language preferred by the user, and is tailored to their unique skill level.

 



SDL LiveContent is designed to fully mine your information value, and deliver that value to your customers.  Here's how:
  • Living XML Content. SDL LiveContent's light-weight, high-performance, native XML database keeps your content in XML form until the instant it is accessed, when it is then formatted, filtered, and delivered to the person requesting it. This means that the information your users and clients receive is always current, complete and above all, accurate. Because there's no complex or manual reformatting of your content for delivery, the path from request to delivery is short, cost-effective and fully automated.
  • Support for any XML DTD or Schema. Because SDL LiveContent can work equally well with any XML DTD or Schema, you are not bound to a particular content form or standard, but can even support multiple XML structures simultaneously, integrating their participation in the generation of your information products.
  • Utilizes Mainstream XML Technologies. SDL LiveContent utilized an entire family of XML technologies, including XQuery, XSL, XSL-FO, XPath, and AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) so you can easily search, filter, format, and deliver what your users want in any format, via Web or CD-ROM. With this level of technology you can also maintain, revise and extend your information products without expensive programming and redesign.
  • Create Customized Information Products. SDL LiveContent makes it easy to create and customize information products using HTML, PDF and other formats through XSL transformation and styling. And because LiveContent's technology is mainstream, you'll never have difficulty finding capable and affordable staff to support your internal efforts.
  • Intelligent Retrieval and Data Mining With SDL LiveContent you can easily create highly personalized information products using all of the intelligence you capture in your XML structure and metadata for intelligent retrieval and data mining. With LiveContent's real-time communication model, your users get exactly what they want, when they want it, and as much or as little as they need.

...And with more than a quarter-century commitment to client success, SDL Structured Content Technologies enables you to keep pace with your business' rapidly advancing delivery and intelligent content needs.
