DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 5, 2004

Day (SWX:DAYN), a leading provider of global content management software, today announced that chief scientist Roy T. Fielding will be speaking at a session entitled "(Enterprise) Content is King -- Java Specification Request (JSR) 170" at the annual TRAVDEX Travel Technology Think Tank and Conference, to be held May 5-6 at the Cityplace in Dallas.

Fielding will discuss how the Content Repository for Java(TM) Technology API (JSR-170) specification provides a common programmatic interface to disparate content repositories across an enterprise -- a critical need for organizations with growing numbers of structured and unstructured data sources such as e-mail messages, images and documents. This common interface enables organizations to personalize and exchange content both within and beyond the boundaries of the enterprise, regardless of the underlying repository protocol, architecture, implementation and storage.

What:       Day Chief Scientist Roy T. Fielding to Speak on Java
            Standards for Content Repositories

Where:      TRAVDEX, Cityplace, Dallas, Texas

When:       May 6th at 9:45 a.m.

Session:    "(Enterprise) Content is King" -- Java Specification
            Request (JSR) 170 proposes that content repositories have
            a dedicated, standardized way to interact with
            applications that deal with content. It provides for
            access to content bidirectionally on a granular level
            within a repository. This will prevent applications from
            having to adapt to every vendor's proprietary API to
            interact with content repositories. The JSR further
            proposes to define a way to integrate
            content-producer-applications (CMS) and content
            consumer-applications (CRM, portal, etc.)
