Standards Development and Application
Benefiting from XML and related Internet standards

RivCom helps organisations benefit from XML and related Internet technologies by:

• Leading the development of XML eCommerce message formats and vertical industry XML standards
• Helping organisations develop and implement appropriate XML adoption strategies
• Providing training to enable in-house technical staff to implement XML effectively

XML is the Internet-orientated, media-neutral, platform-independent and non- proprietary family of standards and technologies. It is underpinning the transformation of information-management processes by allowing information to be processed, transformed, re-purposed and exchanged across different applications, operating systems and organisations. Our XML services are based on our deep understanding of the technology.

RivCom was a key player in the development of the core XML, XSLT and XML Topic Maps standards and has been commissioned to develop important vertical industry standards such as NewsML and AdsML. For many years we have made full use of XML when implementing information-management solutions for our clients.
