XIS
XIS (XML Intranet System) is the database module of the Data Harmony Software Suite. This object-oriented metadata management system offers platform independence and integrates with Data Harmony to leverage your taxonomies. With XIS, you have total control over all the data you need to capture. A user-friendly schema allows database customization to capture any data element, including legacy data. Object-oriented versatility enables you to specify which data elements are used in your forward-flow. Link each field in your XIS database to authority files or your Data Harmony thesaurus to normalize and enrich each record at point of creation.
