Enterprise software vendor Design Science, Inc., US, has announced a partnership with Vasont Systems to provide a combination of XML content management and MathML editing and formatting tools to efficiently write and publish mathematical content to multiple formats.
At the core of these technologies is XML, an industry standard markup language for creating portable content that can be used with many publishing tools. The Vasont Content Management System (CMS), developed by Vasont Systems, stores XML content at a component or topic level to get maximum reuse of the content. Clients average 71 percent content reuse, which reduces their editorial, production, translation, and publishing costs by 63 percent on average and shortens overall lifecycle times by an average of 75 percent.
The MathFlow product line is a set of components used to add math editing, formatting, and accessibility to publishing systems. The technology at the heart of MathFlow is MathML, the XML standard for representing mathematical notation that is an integral part of many documentation and accessibility standards, including HTML5, EPUB 3, DAISY, DITA, DocBook, NLM, etc. Using MathFlow and the Vasont CMS, organisations can improve the time and costs it takes to create, reuse, and publish scientific, engineering, or other complex mathematical content.
