The AI-based XML editing system

Versioning

• Audit security instead of risk of confusion
  Versioning enables content to be ‘frozen’ and thus prevents modules and documents from being changed unintentionally. In addition, changes generally generate a new revision status. Versioning ensures a complete, clear history that can be accessed quickly if required.

Review Client

• Lightning correction instead of an endless loop
  Integrate other specialist departments digitally into your review process by having technical experts check and comment on documents in the web client. The intuitive operation in the browser requires no special software, and the editorial team can always keep an eye on the processing status.

Delta function

• Easy Comparison instead of confusion
  Recognise the differences/changes at a glance and find the changed passages immediately, even in extensive documents with hundreds of pages.

Product variants

• Classification instead of drag-and-drop:
  COSIMA continues to support the creation of documents via drag-and-drop and the filtering of individual instructions. At the same time, with the automatic generation of product-specific documentation based on a configurable classification, it offers a modern and efficient solution to better cope with the increasing number of variants.

Validity

• Variance instead of mass:
  Use the validity function to assign content to product variants and product properties. A filter ensures that only relevant content appears in the output document – without having to copy modules.

IGEL

• Text reference instead of design confusion:
  With IGEL, you can edit item numbers directly in the editorial system and convert images into IGEL images. Image captions are created automatically and you can control whether the item numbers appear in the captions or in the text. This means that the same image file can be used several times in different contexts, as COSIMA automatically adjusts the text-image relationship.

Fully automated media production

• Publishing without post-processing:
  You can easily design layouts yourself and automatically create various output formats such as PDF, HTML5 for context-sensitive online help or Word.

Publication configurator

• At the touch of a button instead of manual labour:
  The freely configurable classification in COSIMA, such as PI or iiRDS, clearly organises your information. The publication configurator uses this to create customised documentation fully automatically.

Author’s assistance

• Consistent texts instead of stylistic blossoms:
  Terminology management defines which terms may be used and provides support when creating documents. The authoring memory suggests formulations for similarities, ensures a consistent style and saves time and translation costs.

AI add-ons

• Intelligent work support instead of the error devil:
  COSIMA AI add-ons make your day-to-day work easier by automatically creating warnings and safety instructions or instructions for action based on keywords. The AI add-ons generate the correct XML structures at the same time. The AI also checks hazard levels and generates index entries for the keyword register.

Schematron check

• Push a button instead of manual labour:
  Schematron checks help to check formal and structural rules directly in COSIMA to ensure consistent documentation. They ensure that certain XML structures are adhered to, such as a minimum number of entries in an enumeration. In addition, simple text patterns can be checked, such as whether there is a protected space between a number and a unit of measurement. Many of these rules are typically also formulated in the editorial guidelines.

Translation management

• Language diversity instead of cost explosion:
  Translation management in COSIMA saves time and costs thanks to an automated workflow. It creates translation packages for missing or outdated modules in the target language and sends them to translation service providers. It uses ZIP files or hot folders and supports the COTI interface as well as the Across interface. COSIMA also enables pre-translations in order to distribute the workload more evenly and avoid bottlenecks shortly before the editorial deadline.

Translation Service

• Lightning-fast translation instead of annoying waiting times:
  The DOCUFY Translation Service enables translations at the touch of a button. Machine translation saves you time and money, while translation memory, post-editing, ease of use and the COSIMA approval process ensure quality-assured results.

Layouts

• Freedom of design instead of programming effort:
  The DOCUFY Layouter tool makes it easy to design layouts for PDF and HTML5. Changes to the corporate design can be made via the web interface and layouts can be loaded directly into COSIMA.

COSIMA Scripting

• Scripting instead of clicking:
  With COSIMA Scripting, you can automate recurring work steps and implement new features independently of our releases, e.g. notifications, automatic format delivery, importing data from Excel tables or data exchange with your third-party systems such as SAP.
