Data Architecture Development

The development of the actual data architecture translates the design guidelines and the results of the data architecture workshops into actual syntax that will be used by the suite of XML tools. The architecture will be developed following DMSi-established guidelines, ensuring an easy-to-follow, easy-to-maintain set of DTD or schema modules.

 Testing and Revision Cycles

As in any well-defined development project, a set of test guidelines, including sample instances, will be developed and executed. Customer tests are an integral part of this process, and user feedback is instrumental in ensuring that the architecture is solid and meets the desired objectives.

 Final Release

The term ‘final’ is a misnomer, as any data architecture is an evolving set of rules that change as circumstances change, new products are announced, and new delivery vehicles are designed. Final release does signify that this will be the version of the architecture that will be used to design the content management system configuration, and all delivery tools.
