Only announcing vague details, it was supposed to help users design, modify and work with XML based forms, with little or no coding. Unlike the W3C s XForms proposal, Microsoft would control the standard itself, which wasn t well received by the market. It was also a competitor to Adobe Systems s Forms Designer, which uses XML forms as well. In 2003 , Microsoft announced that XDocs was going to be known commercially as Microsoft InfoPath .

Notability date April 2009 Unreferenced date April 2009 The Convex Software Library is an open source client side Library computing library that runs as a hidden applet in a Web browser and provides XForms support for browsers that do not support the World Wide Web Consortium standard. It is a subproject of the Chiba Engine . It can be useful as a transition W3C standard over time while browsers develop. Its drawback is the requirement of Java programming language Java installed in the client side which is sometimes not available. This however is not a roadblock for usage in environments that lack Java support, since Java can be used out of the box with Google Web Toolkit and therefore the library could be ported to be run with Javascript which is present in nearly all browsers.

A form contains components and controls, which are a high level representation of standard GUI widgets it s easier to manipulate the high level wrappers than to deal with the underlying API. At design time, visual controls buttons, text boxes, and the like and non visual components timers, database connections, and so on are placed on the form. These controls and components are moved and sized with a mouse, and their properties and event handler s are set with a special grid.

Unreferenced date January 2008 Intelligent document is a general term to describe electronic documents with more functionality than a page designed to emulate paper . Formats include PDF from Adobe Systems Adobe , InfoPath from Microsoft , Cardiff Software and XForms from W3C , and the non programming solutions DocFire, Exari and Intelledox Pty Ltd Intelledox . Each is based on using XML as a format for data . Intelligent documents are essentially interactive electronic documents. Intelligent documents include Form document forms that change on request, personalized web pages, and personalised presentations. They usually require web access and Server computing server software. Intelligent documents are used to help automate business processes, improve customer service, and reduce costs. Intelligent documents are also being used by marketing firms to target consumer s more precisely. Programming marketing documents with customer data helps to improve customer loyalty, increase response rates, reduce marketing costs, and build brand recognition. Some examples would be the online shopping site Amazon.com and the free email service Gmail from Google which uses AJAX technology to add intelligence to its documents. Other more document centric examples include commercial lending or leasing documents where, by the transactional nature, they can be automated using an assembly line approach with the logic and data embedded directly into the document. The future of the intelligent document includes tight integration with meaning based computing , allowing intelligent completion of forms with recommendations on subject matter experts and related documents as well as dynamic regeneration based on rules or logic. Today s more advanced document automation systems allow users to create their own data and rules logic without the need for programming.

XDIME is an xHTML Device Independent Markup Extensions. The acronym originally stood for XHTML with Device Independent Markup Extensions. It is a device independent authoring language. It allows content to be created once but delivered to the myriad traditional and mobile devices that can connect to the Web. Device specific characteristics of a web site are captured separately as a set of policies that tailor the user experience to the particular type of device being used. Page layout, styling and media, such as images, are examples of resources that are controlled by policies. Style related policies make use of the W3C CSS 2 specification. When a device accesses a site authored using XDIME, the markup and the related policies are subjected to Content Adaptation . This creates device specific materials from the authored content and policies. The device specific materials are appropriate for the particular device being used to access a site. XDIME has been in existence since the year 2000. Early in its life it was known as MAML and Marlin before finally gaining the name XDIME. Originally devised by Volantis Volantis Systems , the language has appeared in a number of products and services including Volantis Multi Channel Server MCS , and IBM s Mobile Portal Accelerator . It is at the heart of dozens of mobile networks across the globe. The latest version, XDIME 2 , is based on the W3C Device Independent Authoring Language http www.w3.org TR dial DIAL specification.
