IXIASOFT, the native XML database and search engine provider, announces the implementation of TEXTML Server at these industry-leading publishers and publications: famed politics magazine Foreign Affairs, world-renowned French news agency AFP, and key publishers Independent News & Media and Media Communications Group. TEXTML Server is ideally suited to answer the specific needs of publishers who require content re-purposing and multi-channel delivery solutions.

Foreign Affairs magazine

Foreign Affairs magazine has been America's most influential publication on international affairs and foreign policy for over 80 years. They purchased and implemented TEXTML Server for editorial content archiving and publishing of live content for the online version of Foreign Affairs magazine (www.foreignaffairs.org). The Council of Foreign Relations, a non-profit and nonpartisan membership organization dedicated to improving the understanding of U.S. foreign policy and international affairs through the free exchange of ideas, is the publisher of Foreign Affairs magazine.

AFP news agency

Founded in 1835, Agence France-Presse (AFP) is the world's oldest established news agency in the world. The organization recently launched Magazine Forum (magazineforum.afp.com), a web platform designed to deliver AFP features or special reports along with pictures and other illustrations. Content purchased through Magazine Forum can be viewed in HTML and is delivered in various formats including text, NewsML, and high definition pictures. Magazine Forum is powered by France's Eurocortex's Intelligent Content Management product, an on-line archiving system for content aggregation and delivery based on TEXTML Server. Eurocortex is an OEM partner of IXIASOFT.
