SysOnyx Inc. focus revisited |
11-NOV-2002 |
|
|
SysOnyx Inc. has been dedicated to created
simple, useful XML tools as well as Integration
Solutions, creating an A2A/B2B EAI system dubbed
xmlLynx, and various supporting applications,
such as xmlLinguist. This was our initial
strategy and seemed to be a good start.
However, as we've neared completion with a lot
of our XML tools, we've decided to revisit the
overall goal of SysOnyx Inc. Rather than
stretching our initial resources to cover many
bases, we're tightening down our efforts to
focus on developing our XML tools.
Our first movement towards this goal is bringing
xmlLinguist from the B2B world into a "normal",
simple XML tool. xmlLinguist is currently in
private Beta testing right now, and will soon
be released for Public testing. Our second move
will be a minor rework of the website, focusing
all of it on XML tools. xmlLynx will temporarily
be put on the back shelf.
The future of xmlLynx is not yet determined
though. The idea and skills are still there,
however the focus is on the XML tools. This does
not mean the end of xmlLynx, simply that it is
temporarily shelved. Later, the question will
be addressed if we should resurrect xmlLynx or
not.

xmlArchitect better than VS.NET |
16-APR-2002 |
|
|
A user recently tried to utilize Microsoft's Visual Studio .NET's feature of opening an XML file and creating a schema for it, however VS.NET failed due to the existance of child nodes from different parents with the same name. xmlArchitect rose to the challenge and successfully created the XML Schema.
Details of this feat are listed on the General Topics web forum.
