ItemField, Inc., the leading provider of real-time, bi-directional, XML based data transformation software, announced today the General Release of ContentMaster Version 3.11.

Among the many enhancements are extensive pre-packed HL7 libraries, a utility to generate

The many enhancements to ContentMaster Version 3.11 will reduce even further the time and effort required to effect automated real-time transformations. One of the most formidable challenges facing enterprises today is enabling applications to freely share data in real-time. The vast majority of companies' wealth of enterprise data is locked away in unstructured, inconsistent and often highly complex formats. To access and transform even a small portion of this valuable data, companies typically hire specialists and invest in extensive, time-consuming and expensive custom programming. ContentMaster Version 3.11 is the only solution expressly designed to empower companies to leverage all of their enterprise data, even the most complex, proprietary unstructured data.

Based on its patented parsing-by-example technology, ContentMaster quickly and seamlessly transforms data - via XML - from any data source to any other - with no programming.

Highlights of ContentMaster Version 3.11 include:

- HL7 libraries which provide pre-defined parsers for the rapid transformation of various HL7 messages and the ability to add additional libraries

- A "slicer" enabling users to split large documents or messages to account for size limitations in third party applications

- Significant performance gains including the processing of 200 5KB documents/second, and a throughput of over 1000 4KB messages/second.

- A JAVA API enabling application calls from inside a JVM

- Regular expressions that were implemented as part of the XSD marking mechanism to allow for even more parsing flexibility

- Import of XSD, DTD, TSD and COBOL data definition to allow users to use pre-defined data definitions within the ContentMaster without any effort

"ContentMaster provides a single, simple architectural framework under which any data format can be converted to any other in real time. ContentMaster has gained remarkable market acceptance since its debut last year. ContentMaster Version 3.11 extends even further the impressive capabilities of this tool" said Rob Levy, ItemField's Chief Strategy Officer.

ContentMaster Version 3.11 is available immediately.
