ARender's Annotations are ISO XFDF Normalized

Annotations in ARender being stored in ISO XFDF (XML Forms Data Format) offer several advantages in terms of storage, migration, security, and re-use.

Security

Preservation Of Metadata

XFDF allows for the storage of metadata associated with annotations. This metadata can include information about the author, timestamp, and other relevant details, contributing to the security and auditability of the annotation history

Secure Transmission
Being based on XML, XFDF files can be transmitted securely, ensuring that annotation data remains confidential during any transfer processes
 

Storage Efficiency

Structured Data Format

SO XFDF is a standardized, XML-based format that organizes annotation data in a structured manner. This allows for efficient storage of annotation information alongside the original documents

Compact Representation

XFDF files can be relatively compact, optimizing storage space while preserving the integrity of annotation data. This is crucial for managing large volumes of documents with associated annotations

Migration (Change Of ECM System)

Vendor-Neutral Format

XFDF is a vendor-neutral format, which means that annotations stored in this format are not tied to a specific ECM system. This vendor neutrality facilitates smoother migration between ECM systems

Interoperability

As ISO XFDF is a widely recognized standard, it promotes interoperability, making it easier to migrate annotations across different ECM platforms without loss of data or compatibility issues

Visual Representation of Changes

The version tracking feature visually represents changes on the document interface. Users can easily identify areas with annotations, understand the types of annotations applied, and discern when each annotation was made

Detailed Timestamps and Contributors

Each annotation in the document history is accompanied by detailed timestamps and contributor information. Users can pinpoint exactly when an annotation was added or modified and identify the collaborators involved.
