Document and Content Management
related applications often require existing documents to be
imported into the system. Sometimes they are already in a
compatible format, sometimes not. Quick and accurate integration
of relevant documents into your new application can be critical
to its success. Ockham provides an efficient and flexible
service for document conversion. Formats include data formats,
text formats, XML, PDF, SGML, HTML, Microsoft Reader, Adobe
Reader and Palm Reader e-Book formats. Processes include scanning,
digitization, indexing, key wording, conversion and content
security. We integrate capabilities and experience in information
architecture, data conversion and metadata development. This
enables us to create solutions for customers needing to create
large-scale web-content.
XML transformation
Ockham converts media-rich HTML, SGML, proprietary formatted
documents and unstructured content to XML. We call this our
content architecture service. We strongly advocate the use
of XML publishing, as this rich format provides great flexibility
in the modification, adaptation and re-use of on-line documents.
XML is being embraced as the core technology for the next
generation Internet. It will fundamentally change the way
we receive and search for information. As part of its service,
Ockham provides complete documentation known as the tag library.
This details proper usage, syntax and client specific definition
of each DTD element, attribute and entity. It also includes
a graphical representation of the entire document hierarchy.
PDF conversion
Ockham creates full-resolution PDF files which are suitable
for printing or on-line delivery. PDF files are created from
any source material to any specifications. Navigational aids,
indexes, security and links to external resources are included.
Using a unique process we can combine PDF conversions of text
and images combined on a single page.
Text conversion
Hard copy or PDF files are scanned using Optical Character
Recognition (OCR). Complex documents with non-standard or
handwritten characters are entered manually, using double
or triple keying techniques.
Data conversion
Ockham can convert either electronic files or hard copy documents.
The documents are indexed, structured, edited and laid out
in various formats such as Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel,
CSV, and tab or pipe delimited formats. |
