BookDB-XML

BookDB-XML is powerful database publishing software, for automated composition and typesetting of documents such as catalogues, pricelists, manuals, flyers and reports based on data in one or more databases. Export to different media like print and digital formats is possible in one mouse click.

Many organisations are looking for ways to manage, publish and distribute their data efficiently. BookDB-XML offers all the functionality you need to automatically generate print-ready documents derived from a database. This means that you can easily publish data from one or more existing systems according to the desired layout.

BookDB-XML enables data extraction from any ODBC database (e.g. MS Access, MS SQL, MySQL, Oracle, Navision, SAP) in order to generate an XML export which is immediately applicable in publications.

 

Application area’s:

  • product catalogues, price lists, flyers
  • technical manuals, telephone books
  • information magazines, datasheets
  • user manuals in different languages
  • reporting
 

Workflow

 
  • Because XML is medium, platform and software independent, it is perfect for various applications (paper catalogues, online webshop, …)
  • Through SQL queries and XSLT the XML export can be generated and structured as to everyone’s desire
  • Apart from texts it is possible to generate illustrations and images based on database content. Examples are charts, geographical maps or technical drawings.
