Lionbridge Technologies is an international corporation in the software localization industry. Their branch in Boulder, CO wished to write their project technical specifications using XML, to take advantage of that technology''s flexibility and platform independence. For this they required a user-friendly, web-enabled tool that employees could use to compose and edit the specs. The system developed by mtnTop.com loads pertinent information from an XML file into a web form, which not only allows existing fields of various types to be edited, but also enables new fields or sections to be added and written back into the original XML file. The system provides many advantages of a relational database without actually using "database" software. The system is hosted on Lionbridge's intranet, and cannot be viewed here.
