Ximdex is a semantic web based Content Management System (CMS) for XML that allows a simultaneous generation of contents, data and apps in different technologies (Django, RoR, PHP, J2EE, .NET, XML/XSLT, HTML5, ...) and for different channels (smartphones, tablets, web, DVB, smart TV, ebooks, ...)
Ximdex’s “in the cloud” architecture, allows for true independence of contents, data and services from final rendering technologies (web, mobile devices, digital tv, ...), improving the performance of systems, while easing automatic adaptation of information to any current or future format.
Decoupled publishing of your content guarantees additional freedom, security and scalability, allowing you to transform it into final formats (jsp, xhtml, php, ...) or sync it to distant servers in the cloud.

Semantic Web
“The Semantic Web is an extension of the current web in which
information is given a well-defined meaning, better enabling
computers and people to work in cooperation”
Tim Berners-Lee et al, “The Semantic Web” (2001)
Normal Web (considering 2.0)
It does not represent information meaning.
Only design and presentation!

Semantic Web
It associates a precise and shared meaning to
the elements of information. Therefore
modeled information can be used by persons,
tools and systems.
XML
RDF+ontologies
RDF (Resource Description Framework) allows to describe
relationships between “elements of information”.
Ontologies provide a shared vocabulary (OWL).

11. - 11 -Making smart content, together!
What is Ximdex CMS?
Acquisition, management, transformation and syndication of:
– contents, data and services
(web, smartphones, DVB, smart TVs, ...)
– exploitation elements
(java, php, RoR, json, jquery, html, django, ...)
Allowing a distributed management of information elements:
– remote and cooperative via web
– From multiple sources
– Using diverse programming languages
– Taken into account structure & meaning
For the publication as web portals of contents/data/services
in diverse formats and channels, with full separation between
content and presentation and business logic.
A distributed environment for the management of contents, data, applications and services.
It conveys them to different final formats (WEB, smart TV, smartphones, ...) in multiple technologies
(J2EE, PHP, .NET, XML, JSON, XHTML, HTML5, …) even simultaneously.
“XIMDEX is the only CMS
fully independent from
business logic, allowing
deployment of contents &
data in any present or
oncoming technology”
