Constellation incorporates all of the XML migration and management capabilities of Xtract and Xtract Plus products with the COLA and StarMapper solutions to create a two-way, completely integrated solution for managing XML content. Constellation allows users to take the management of XML as far as they want, providing a simple, user-friendly interface so non-technical users can benefit from the power of XML without having to deal with the technical aspects. XML sits behind the scenes, allowing content creators to work in their native authoring environments and automatically convert the content to XML; nothing about their content creation process is affected. For the more technically savvy, we provide access to the technicalities behind the creation, editing, and mapping of XML, DTDs, and XSL stylesheets.

Constellation addresses how to get your existing and newly created content to XML, without the use of templates. Using Noonetime's Xtract technology, content created in MSWord, FrameMaker, or QuarkXpress is automatically transformed to XML. Xtract Plus completes the round trip process by importing the extracted XML back to its original document layout.

StarMapper takes over from here, mapping between components from a source DTD or Schema and a target DTD or Schema, simply by selecting the elements and clicking on a button to map. As the elements are mapped, an XSL stylesheet specifying the transformation for an XML document is automatically created.

The exported document can be edited remotely using COLA, an online editing and authoring tool. COLA is structured so that, through the editing process, well-formed XML is always being created, even if the user knows nothing about XML. Once the document is complete, it can either be imported back to the original document source for print or delivered through other channels, including Internet and wireless devices.
