With G-VMP your content is reusable because based on Open Standards

At Genias we strongly support Open Standards. It is the only way to keep you as our customer, from being locked into a proprietary format which prevents you from doing with your content what you want. In addition, the Open Standards assure you that our software is build on industry proven concepts and schema's. Of course, all our software and data format is XML based. Content is stored in XML, stylesheets are stored in XML, and the whole G-VMP system is configured using XML. Although everybody claims knowledge of XML, only a few can point at over 10 years of experience in the field. The G-VMP 1.0 was developed in SGML long before the simplified SGML version, called XML, was even defined. Stylesheets and transformations are mostly implemented in the standard XSLT. For display, also XHTML combined with CSS is used. The G-VMP search engine is implemented using the XPath and XSLT standards. Part of the screen design is done with XSL-FO. This is the formatting language of XML. We also use it as an intermediate format for creating PDF files from the article-database. In the G-VMP manual, graphics in SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) are used. The repository, currently under development, is implemented in MPEG-7, a brand new standard for describing information about multi-media objects. As output formats we also employ RDF/RSS, for creating news channels, and SMIL for multimedia presentations. For getting the G-VMP application to run on any operating system, we use Java.
