    1. PureEdge Solutions Presentation to XML.gov Working Group February 19, 2003

    2. PureEdge Overview Privately held software manufacturer founded in 1993 and headquartered in Victoria, BC Revenue growth in excess of 100% per year XML is the core of our products Products are based upon open standards Actively participate in the standards community Hundreds of implementations, millions of users world-wide Offices - Canada Victoria, Ottawa, Vancouver, Toronto, US – Washington DC, New England, Detroit, San Francisco, and Seattle

    3. Committed to Standards XFDL accepted for review by the W3C. It is an “open” Standard published at docs.pureedge.com XFORMS founding member, John Boyer PureEdge’s Chief Architect wrote the Specification for the XForms Computational Engine. XML DSIG Chief Architect acted as editor of the recently presented DSIG standard. A joint body of the W3C and the IETF, XML-DSIG will specify a standard syntax for representing, computing, and verifying digital signatures in XML XML Canonicalization –XML Canonicalization allows both sender and receiver to derive the same message from a given XML document.

    4. Underlying Technology - XML In late 1997 PureEdge (UWI.com) decided to standardize on XML (XFDL previously UFDL) Common Data Structure Human Readable Standards Community Vendor Neutral Benefits of XML – Today Widely accepted by all major vendors Wealth of tools are currently available with new tools emerging Long term retention of records

    5. Leadership

    6. Good Records

    7. Adobe PDF Widely accepted document format Proprietary Excellent for precision presentation and static publishing Limited dynamic functionality Document manipulation requires significant programming in procedural language Difficult to extract data from PDF document Large file size that grows as document is manipulated Cannot control the end user experience

    8. Adobe SVG Scalable Vector Graphics XML language to represent graphics SVG drawings can be dynamic and interactive A valuable instrument where graphics need to be manipulated dynamically Limited functionality for for capturing and processing text oriented data SVG is primarily an XML based presentation technique SVG is an adjunct to PDF not a replacement

    9. Microsoft XDocs Information based on Microsoft press releases Will not be XForms compliant – MS does not participate in the working group and is not touting their planned compliance Stratified document architecture – presentation and data are separate entities Security – no mention of document integrity, digital signatures, or other security measures XDocs announcement drove Adobe down 6.4% - so the market appears to think this is a PDF competitor Microsoft has stated about XDocs, “XDocs is just one example of how Office products will continue to be an integral part of both formal and informal business processes”

    10. PureEdge XFDL ICS Products Open Standard XML – published at docs.pureedge.com Q2 2003 – Version 6 to incorporate XForms data model Document-centric – Full offline operation, single secure file that can be digitally signed Strong support for signatures including cert filtering, multiple and overlapping signatures Ability to parse a document with all XML oriented tools Computational engine allows document manipulation within the document Small file sizes Allows full control of the end user environment

    11. ICS Viewer – a client side application to render XML documents. ICS Designer – a drag and drop, GUI, tool to web-enabled client interfaces ICS Enhanced APIs – a toolset available in Java, C, C++ to interface ICS documents to backend systems – databases, workflow, and legacy applications ICS Deployment – a tool to automate deployment of the ICS Viewer and documents Building Web Enabled Applications
