Altova Authentic® 2007 Desktop Edition is a free XML and database content editor designed to complement ¨C and based on some of the same technology as ¨C the Altova® MissionKit™ 2007. Unlike Authentic® 2007 Browser Edition, it is hosted locally on the end user¡¯s personal computer. Software developers can employ Authentic® 2007 Desktop Edition as the user interface element of advanced XML and database-centric applications, then business users and subject matter experts can use its familiar word processor style functionality for data entry or accessing and editing their content. Authentic® 2007 Desktop Edition will allow end users to view, open, create and edit XML and database files. Users enter and edit data in intuitive Authentic electronic forms that are based on properties defined in stylesheets created using Altova StyleVision® 2007. The Authentic® 2007 Desktop Edition is ideal for configurations where the end user may occasionally need to work on XML files or database data in a self-contained environment on a single workstation, with no connection to the Internet (nor, perhaps, their local area network). Of course Authentic® 2007 Desktop Edition can also access XML documents, databases, and stylesheets over network connections, even by URL. These methods are appropriate for groups that work independently, but want to manage files in a central location. TheAuthentic® 2007 Desktop Edition user interface is identical to the Authentic View options in XMLSpy® 2007 and in StyleVision® 2007. This consistency allows you to visually design stylesheets in StyleVision, then immediately and conveniently preview example documents in its Authentic View, exactly as users of Authentic® 2007 Desktop Edition will see them.
