Bentley's ModelServer Integrator Supports XML and aecXML; Server-level Information Broker for Engineering Projects Gains New Power to Integrate Information from Diverse Sources.PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 28, 1999-- Bentley Systems Bentley Systems, Incorporated, provides software for the "Design, construction and operation of the world's infrastructure". The company’s software serves the building, plant, civil, and geospatial vertical markets in the areas of architecture, engineering, construction (AEC) , Incorporated (Exton, PA), today announced that its Web-based ModelServer(R) Integrator (1) In electronics, a device that combines an input with a variable, such as time, and provides an analog output; for example, a watt-hour meter. (2) See systems integrator. (TM) product includes support for eXtensible Markup Language See XML. (language, text) Extensible Markup Language - (XML) An initiative from the W3C defining an "extremely simple" dialect of SGML suitable for use on the World-Wide Web. http://w3.org/XML/. (XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. ) and aecXML. ModelServer Integrator is an information broker for engineering projects that enables engineering enterprises to assemble information from multiple databases and software applications and present relevant, timely, and accurate information to users throughout the organization. ModelServer Integrator's support of XML allows users to take full advantage of the wealth of rapidly emerging support tools, technology, and standards built around XML in such areas as e-commerce e-commerce, commerce conducted over the Internet, most often via the World Wide Web. E-commerce can apply to purchases made through the Web or to business-to-business activities such as inventory transfers. and data exchange. Important among these is the industry-wide aecXML effort which Bentley initiated earlier this year (www.aecxml.org). In this initiative, the aecXML Working Group is a forum for industry, government, research communities and end users to contribute to an XML schema The definition of an XML document, which includes the XML tags and their interrelationships. Residing within the document itself, an XML schema may be used to verify the integrity of the content. particularly suited for architecture, engineering and construction (A/E/C A/E/C Architect/Engineer/Contractor ). "Through ModelServer Integrator and its support of XML, it is possible to first process a very unstructured `world' of diverse enterprise information based on business rules unique to an enterprise, and then create a structured view of that information that is tailored to the needs of the end user," said A. B. "Buddy" Cleveland, senior vice president of Bentley's ModelEngineering Bentley's ModelServer Integrator Supports XML and aecXML Page 2 Business Group. "By providing the view of the enterprise in an XML-compatible form, engineering organizations can take full advantage of the many present and forthcoming industry-standard tools to present and query the structured information." ModelServer Integrator, with support for XML, will be available in the fourth quarter of 1999.
