It is packaged as a Windows executable with a command-line control and is ideally suitable for use in both client- and server-side application development.

This whitepaper discusses the XML Content Lifecycle and the implementation of Document Frameworks, a concept referring to XML based information management systems, which effectively streamlines the data and content gathering processes, allowing business information to be re-used and better acted upon. Altovas AUTHENTIC 5, an XML document editor offered under free software license, is presented in a case study which investigates the design and development of loosely coupled, distributed XML content management systems. Furthermore, XMLSPY 5, the industry standard XML Development Environment, facilitates additional customization of Document Framework applications, by providing a comprehensive feature set of utilities for working with XML.
