Software Review: MissionKit 2009: UModel from Altova
Blog Critics
The Unified Modeling Language, (UML) is a graphical language for organizing, analyzing, and planning software projects before coding begins. The UML attempts to take lessons learned in other engineering disciplines and apply them to software development. UModel was developed with the interest of making the UML process easier.
Like any UML modeling tool, there is a learning curve to using UModel, but once you get the hang of it, it is pretty intuitive. There is a lot of online help and a PDF User Reference manual that is over 400 pages in length. If you want to get into UML modeling then UModel 2009 will provide a perfect solution.

Compelling Compliance: Bringing Digital Content Up-to-Code
EContent Magazine
Gianluca Garbellotto, president and CEO of XML-related consulting firm Iphix, LLC and chair for the XBRL Global Ledger Working Group, believes that the rollout of SEC mandates will increasingly impact his clients. “XML- and XBRL- based ‘digital filings’ enable us to change the underlying reporting processes, bringing efficiencies in terms of automation of previously manual steps, a widespread issue in even the most advanced IT reporting environments, and benefits in the reporting assembly and review process.”
In bringing clients up-to-speed, Garbellotto uses Altova’s MissionKit suite, which combines tools that address the many basic compliance steps. For extracting data from source-accounting software and enterprise resource planning systems, he uses MapForce. The XMLSpy tool reviews, edits, and validates the results, and DiffDog runs versioning analysis on the data, while StyleVision renders it into a publishable format.
