A taste of who uses XForms
Molly Holzschlag asks who uses XForms, so I thought I would just drop a taste here for the record.
As you would expect with a new technology, adopters of XForms are within companies and vertical industries that have control over the software environment used. This is just a selection:
- the US Navy (in submarines),
- the British Insurance industry,
- NASA (Jet Propulsion Laboratories),
- UK Government (Planning Inspectorate),
- many UK local government sites
- US Government (eg recovery.gov, archives.gov)
- Verifone - a payment company, for configuring petrol pumps,
- Xerox, for an Enterprise Content Management system, to implement dynamic forms and to do XML binding to editing and adding for Wikis, Blogs, and content management, and another use in active development.
- Yahoo for several internal applications, and now part of their mobile platform
- NACS - the Association for Convenience & Petroleum Retailing for configuring and accessing data from a range of devices,
- Vancity - A Canadian Credit Union, with public XForms-driven pages,
- Daiwa - a Japanese Bank, for a transaction system,
- German Shipbuilders, for configuring ships,
- Fraunhofer (known for MP3) for configuring websites,
- Bristol-Myers-Squibb (pharmaceutical),
- Remia - a major Dutch food manufacturer,
- KDDI: embedded in a Japanese mobile phone,
- US Center for Disease Control: for disease control after hurricane Katrina
And don't forget that it is an integral part of OpenOffice's ODF, as well as central to a number of content management systems, such as the one from EMC.
