June 10, 2003: Infonyte licenses XQuery technology from Fraunhofer: Infonyte has licensed one of the world leading XQuery processors developed by the researches at Fraunhofer IPSI. The IPSI XQuery engine ( IPSI-XQ) is a prototype of an XQuery engine. It is implemented "by the book", that means it is implemented as faithfully as possible along the current W3C working drafts. IPSI-XQ is implemented completely in Java and will serve as a base for Infonyte's own XQuery implementation. It will be integrated in future versions of Infonyte's XML-product line Infonyte-DB.
March 12-19, 2003: CeBIT 2003: Infonyte presents the latest version of Infonyte-DB 3.0 on CeBIT 2003 (March 12-19 2003, Hall 11, Booth A24) as partner on the Fraunhofer booth. The new version contains new modules for document collections, user-defined indexing as well as the brand new XML workbench as an interactive development environment for working with large XML documents.

A highlight will be a preview version of the upcoming Infonyte-Reader. The Infonyte-Reader is a configurable XML browser allowing the creation of XML-based information products like product catalogs, dictionaries, and electronic manuals in a radically simplified fashion. [more ...(in German)]
