Created within Shaman, XEPROC is cutting edge technology that helps design robust, flexible document processes fast, while producing an abstract representation independent of the implementation.

These representations capture the intent behind the workflow and can be preserved for reuse within future, unknown infrastructures contributing to the preservation of knowledge assets.

In a SOA spirit, XEPROC embeds references to services and documents and provides loose coupling to services and also to data resources, with respect to both their location and format. Xeproc provides a new kind of orchestration designer, integrated in the full set of Eclipse tools.

Available on Eclipse 3.5 under the Eclipse Public License, XEPROC combines a domain specific language (DSL), an associated graphic designer and extension APIs.
