For
Release:
Elgris Technologies, Inc. releases XML Tools for EDA
Sonoma,
CA June 1, 2000 Elgris Technologies, Inc.™ (Elgris) released
today the completion of a suite of XML Interface Tools for EDA.
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) defines a set of rules for writing
markup languages. XML was used to define a markup language called
EdaXML. The XML rules for EdaXML are defined in an XML Document
Type Definition (DTD) called EdaXML.dtd. EdaXML.dtd can be inspected
at http://www.Elgris.com/xml/dtds/EdaXML.dtd.
EdaXML
is based on a comprehensive EXPRESS Information Model, the same
information model used for designing EDIF V 4 0 0. EdaXML covers
Schematics,Connectivity, PCB and MCM. This information model can
be obtained from Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA), 2500 Wilson
Boulevard, Arlington, VA 22201.
Elgris
released today XML translators for Mentor Graphics' DesignArchitect
and Cadence OrCAD CApture. XML translators for Innoveda's Powerview/Workview
and for Cadence Concept Schematic Capture will be released within
3 to 4 weeks. Elgris has simultaneously released tools for validating
the XML output: An EdaXML viewer and free syntax and semantic checkers
that can be downloaded today. Using
XML is going to allow users to apply all the wealth of available
XML free tools to EDA data: for publishing EDA symbols, PCB footprints,
and whole EDA designs in a highly portable, web-oriented, neutral
format. EdaXML is a natural complement to Si2's ECIX QuickData Specification:
it is no longer necessary to have a subset of the EDA data, the
user can combine ECIX QuickData Searchable attributes with an easy
XML access to the real thing: real EDA symbol, real PCB footprints,
etc. EdaXML will facilitate design collaboration over the Web using
XML Web servers, provide true interoperability between various EDA
databases and allow linking seamlessly designs on multiple EDA platforms.
