Huge diversity of contents* (doc/data/web app)
Millions of documents, from disparate formats and sources
Multiple languages, multiple final formats
Complex structuration and sorting
Multidimensional navigation space
Already working contents and services
“document recycling”à design and style adaptation!
“business logic recycling” à limits to integration!
Dynamic information elements
Rigid and intrusive architectures à “bottlenecks”
Personalization control and profiling
Annotation, meta-info management, …
Working with contents

Content Management
Systems (CMS) already
guarantee full separation
between presentation and
contents ...
CMS’s are highly
intrusive!
Low
interoperability!
Very high
technological
dependance!
… but DO NOT offer a full separation between
contents and business logic.
… and with CMS’s

Information enhancement …

Semantic Web
“The Semantic Web is an extension of the current web in which
information is given a well-defined meaning, better enabling
computers and people to work in cooperation”
Tim Berners-Lee et al, “The Semantic Web” (2001)
Normal Web (considering 2.0)
It does not represent information meaning.
Only design and presentation!
i.e.: <p class=“bold”> Price: 240 Eur</p>

~2010: Data level
–  Semantic web (RDFa, sparql, …)
à Linked Open Data
~1993: Document level
—  gopher, archie
~1994: Text level
—  Web (html, url, …)
Towards the semantic web …

Semantic technologies
Semantic
(meaning)
Structure
(organization)
Sintax
(communication)
Semantic Web
It associates a precise and shared meaning to
the elements of information. Therefore
modeled information can be used by persons,
tools and systems.
XML
RDF+ontologies
RDF (Resource Description Framework) allows to describe
relationships between “elements of information”.
Ontologies provide a shared vocabulary (OWL).
Modelling
allows making
inferences!

XIMDEX
Structured documents + meaning + metadata
Full access to information elements
Free definition and use of XML schemas
Use of standards (XML, XSLT, RNG)

With Ximdex CMS, contents, data and apps
become fully independent from CMS
technology!
Independant selection of architecture, exploitation
platforms (java, ruby, php, .net), application servers,
connectors to systems, etc.
scalable! neutral! interoperable!

What is Ximdex CMS?
Acquisition, management, transformation and syndication of:
– contents, data and services
(web, smartphones, dvb, ...)
– exploitation elements
(java, php, RoR, json, html, django, ...)
Allowing a distributed management of information elements:
– remote and cooperative via web
– From multiple sources
– Using diverse programming languages
– Taken into account structure & meaning
For the publication as web portals of contents/data/services
in diverse formats and channels, with full separation between
content and presentation and business logic.
A distributed environment for the management of contents, data, applications and services. It
conveys them to different final formats (DVB, WEB, smartphones, ...) in multiple technologies (PHP,
django, J2EE, XML, JSON, RoR, HTML5, XHTML, …) even simultaneously.
“XIMDEX is the only CMS
fully independent from
business logic, allowing
deployment of contents &
data in any present or
oncoming technology”
