Planned enhancements in future releases
Support for emergent technologies: As technologies such as topic maps, RDF, OWL, XLink, XPointer, XML Signature, XML Encryption, and so on mature and become part of the information management process, support will be added to the platform for these technologies. Because the platform is designed with a loosely coupled architecture and a highly abstracted data model, these technologies can be easily added to the platform as they become available.
Full ontology support: Future versions of XML Collaborator will include a full ontology classification system conformant with both ebXML and ISO 11179-2. We are also creating additional interfaces to the system that will be fully compliant with ebXML, ISO 11179, and UDDI, so that other systems that understand these interfaces will be able to access XML Collaborator's registry.
