Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc., recently introduced two new document imaging scanners -- the Fujitsu fi-5120C and Fujitsu fi-5220C.

EXEGENIX DOCUMENT MIGRATION TOOLKIT FOR DB2 USES XML CONVERSION TECHNOLOGY TO “EXTRACT, TRANSFORM, AND LOAD” UNSTRUCTURED CONTENT

Exegenix recently announced that its XML conversion technology now can simplify the migration of unstructured material into structured XML data for use in IBM’s next version of DB2, which is code-named “Viper.”

Organizations in various industry sectors, particularly insurance, financial services, healthcare, and government, have a need to tear down the barriers between structured and unstructured information. IBM is breaking new ground with DB2 Viper by adding a Native XML store in its trusted DB2 repository, taking a more holistic approach than its competitors to combine XML and relational systems. XML support is incorporated far deeper in the DB2 data engine than can be achieved via content shredding or BLOB storage, which ensures superior information retrieval with shorter development time and lower overhead. Data storage is centralized for applications with broad capabilities that support both structured content modules and tabular data, removing the requirement to develop middleware between distinct data sources.

Organizations with structured XML content already available have a head start. But the vast majority of material exists in unstructured formats such as PDF, Word, and WordPerfect, and the applications used to create new material generate structure that is inadequate for today’s discerning XML content applications. Documents created in word processors or output as PDF from other applications need their structural components (not just appearance) to be made explicit before being effectively imported and used.
