Gerd Armbruster, Head of Division of Information Technology, City of Mannheim
The City of Mannheim has made a step in the direction of eGovernment systems of the future by converting from pure HTML to the media neutral XML format for all edited contents. By separating layout and contents, all information is suitable for further processing and other IT systems right up to easy preparation for print media. Output to wireless devices - an interesting subject not only for major modern cities like Mannheim - can be realized in this manner with a minimum of effort. In Mannheim, the subject of service for citizens and interaction is emphasized particularly - objectives which can be achieved more easily with the new solution.
The entire portal - from editing system all the way to web server - uses inxire Digital Content, a software for management of content, documents and knowledge from inxire GmbH. This mature technology in combination with the intuitive operability was decisive for inxire. Moreover, the SAGA standard for eGovernment is implemented, which was defined within the scope of the initiative BundOnline 2005.
Thanks to the convenient WYSIWYG XML editor, it was possible for the customer to enter the entire contents for the portal himself. The layout for the Internet site was implemented by inxire and the employees of the City of Mannheim together pixel-precise and browser-neutral in high quality, according to a graphic style guide. The modular design of the software helped to minimize further efforts.
All contents and product information are present in XML - and therefore, in a non-proprietary format. This increases the value of the now media neutral database significantly, because the information can be further processed using other output media (e.g. PDF, print or wireless).
