Cardiff Software Becomes First To Offer Graphical Form Design Applications For Emerging XForms Standard
XForms to Offer an Open Alternative to Proprietary Form Formats and Signals an End to Historical Client-Server ëFiller' Approaches to eForms
San Diego - 2002-01-22 - Cardiff Software Inc., a leader in XML-based enterprise business and process-automation solutions, today announced a preview release of its XForms Publishing Agent™ for LiquidOffice,™ becoming the first to offer graphical form design applications for the emerging XForms standard.
This announcement extends Cardiff's award-winning form design application with the ability to publish local documents, conforming to the latest XForms v1.0 specification by the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) XForms Working Group. The XForms format adds a third industry-standard format that LiquidOffice users will be able to use to view published forms. All forms, designed with the LiquidOffice Form Designer, will now have the ability to be previewed in HTML, Adobe PDF and XForms formats.
The XForms Working Group ó chartered to standardize the way XML and online forms will interoperate ó is dedicated to eliminating the dependency on vendor implementations and proprietary technology. XForms offers an open alternative to proprietary form formats and signals an end to historical client-server ëfiller' approaches to eForms. XForms v1.0 specification describes the architecture, concepts, processing model, and terminology underlying XForms, the next generation of Web forms.
"It is our mission to offer our customers the freedom to choose from a variety of standards-based forms management tools," said Micah Dubinko, Cardiff's Chief XML Architect and an author of the XForms 1.0 specification. "Our work with the W3C, and our plans to fully support the new XForms specification, helps us to deliver platform-independent solutions for eForms management."
XForms 1.0 recently entered the "Last Call" phase, indicating that the specification, while still considered a "work-in-progress," is nearing completion and meets all initially agreed-upon requirements. This is the final opportunity for members of the forms community to provide feedback on the proposed specification and is expected to generate heightened awareness of the new technology and the benefits open standards can bring to XML forms.
Cardiff's products embrace existing standards and implement emerging standards as extensible components. Selecting technology solutions based on standards is key to cross-platform independence, enabling organizations to easily integrate their current systems with new evolving standards.
Availability
The preview release of Cardiff's XForms Publishing Agent provides individuals and organizations with the ability to experience and evaluate an initial implementation of the proposed XForms standard. A download of the XForms Publishing Agent will be available at www.Cardiff.com/XForms in Q1, 2002.
About XForms
XForms is the W3C name for a specification of Web forms used with a variety of platforms including desktop computers, handhelds, information appliances, and even paper. XForms is intended as the replacement for HTML forms, now a nine-year-old technology. The XForms Working Group was founded in 1999, with charter members from Cardiff, Netscape/AOL, Mozquito, IBM, Xerox, PureEdge, and other leading companies.
