Healthcare

A web site, healthdollar.org was launched in January 2009 to leverage information technologies to support a reform of the healthcare system.

Link Factory

We specialize in creating links. The links we create are checked in order to guarantee high quality products.

Visualization of XML Data

We specialize in processing XML data in a way that make them accessible for everyone. We create our own set of tools by using tools that are available, and customizing them for specific application contexts. We privilege tools based on standard XML open source technologies, to process the data according to presentation layout design schemes that are defined by our customers. We also process SGML documents.

We process our customer information on our own machines, which are backed up every day. We deliver information to our customers through the Internet, as often as needed.

We not only render the information we are been given in a readable form, but we also process information in a way to create navigational aids, such as tables of contents, electronic indexes (aka "topic maps"), dictionaries, various tables, etc.

Innovative Services

We absorb the cost of early adoption by proposing only solutions that we have designed and/or tested, and that we know for sure are working. We rely on industry standards as much as possible, including some that we have helped to create. Michel Biezunski, of Infoloom, is the co-inventor of the Topic Maps standard (ISO/IEC 13250). In 2006, he invented the Data Projection Model. We develop applications based on standard technologies, including XML, Unicode, Topic Maps, RDF, XSLT, Python, SQL, and PHP.

Production Services

We specialize in producing industrial quality web sites, by assembling various components through a combination of automatic methods and human input. We use existing standards to design such applications. We use standard tools to implement applications, as well as the tools we develop ourselves.

We use TMLoom, a technology existing now for more than 10 years, for producing topic map applications, and MaxLoom, an implementation of the Data Projection Model, to produce audit trails based on binary relations.

TMLoom is used to create web pages, featuring topic screens connecting pages coming from XML, SGML, HTML, Ascii, CSV files, MS Word/Excel/Powerpoint or OpenOffice Writer/Calc/Impress formats. Topics are created on the fly using automatic methods. Specific methods and processes are developed for the individual constraints and requirements of our customers. Products made with TMLoom include IRS TaxMap, GCA Conference Proceedings, Powerpoint Slides for Egov, etc. See list here.

MaxLoom has been used for auditing the IRS TaxMap production process. Demos are available here.
