Data translation is the conversion of one form of data to another, successful data conversion requires thorough knowledge of the workings of both source and target formats. Data Standards knowledge of the structure of many data formats and databases maintain its ability to easily transform from one to another and back again.

Single sourcing allows the creation of documents in various formats from the same content. For example, a company might use the same content in online help, a printed document and a web feed, with a single source solution, the company only has to update the one source file for the content and Data Standards regenerates the outputs.



Data Standards single source solutions do not require human intervention to customize the formatting or content for the various outputs. Using our XML technology we receive Word documents from the publisher and return PDFs for print, XML for the web, database or content management system, and Word Documents in their original format or restyled to suit another authoring process, this allows the content to be reusable and make it future proof.



Another example is where content of publications are stored in an XML repository and needs to be subbed out to multi authors in Word document format, Data Standards can translate and retain the DTD elements as styles in the finished document, after the editorial stage has been completed these documents can be converted back into XML files. Data Standards listens to your requirements and provides a solution to suit your needs, whether Database Files, Word Processor files, SGML, HTML, XML, or various image formats, we can design a customised DTD and convert your data.
