Structuring information

SPIDER technology allows efficient data storage: First, data are structured based on their content. Storage takes place independently of medium in XML/SGML format in a data pool. This makes the storage of data manufacturer- and platform-independent and allows content to be automatically published on any medium at a later time. Through this method, desired information can be consistently stored in accordance with uniform criteria, making it easy to manage and retrieve – in all languages. Targeted, precise information from the database is thus displayed in the proper context as needed. Thanks to the separation of form and content, different output forms and layout designs can be generated using the same set of information. The data are automatically formatted and published on any medium on demand.

SPIDER offers an optimal solution for automated publishing of information:

• The SPIDER concept minimizes data volumes.

• Thanks to its low storage space requirements, it offers unsurpassed search and display speeds.

• Through medium-independent data storage in XML/SGML, information can be leveraged and modified on other systems as well.

• Publication takes place on the fly.
