MetaMatrix Dimension 2006-05-16 Software MetaMatrix Dimension™ provides an intuitive, easy-to-use modeling tool for defining data services for your projects and applications. Dimension enables you to Web service-enable your legacy data sources, exposing a federated view of those sources that decouples your applications from the sources. Dimension provides exceptional support for semantic mediation and change management. Data Services can be generated from information exchange standards such as GJXDM, NIEM, EXDL, HL7, C2IEDM – and automatically mapped to domain vocabularies of existing data sources. Improves efficiency and effectiveness of Data Services creation and management. Enables broad reuse of data services. Enables support for any standard information exchange standard. Cost-effective. Standards-based and Model-driven (No coding required), so reduces vendor & integrator lock-in.
