SVG Scenarios working with Microsoft Workplace Visio 2003 With an installed base of nearly 8 million end users,
Microsoft Office Visio is one of the most used drawing and diagramming
applications available. Until now, the product has mainly focused on
drawings for print or embedding in other Workplace product documents. With
the 2003 release of Visio we will see the range of end user scenarios expand to
web graphics through well considered and rich support of the SVG
standard. This session will present an overview of this SVG support
and will illustrate its value to customers through a series of end user
scenarios applying Visio and SVG. Some of these represent new opportunities
for third party Visio solution developers and customers. These situations
are intended to highlight the synergy between Visios easy-to-use graphics,
Office Standard 2007, its
rich solutions platform,
Office 2007 Key, Microsofts XML enabling technologies, and the high
level of graphics expression possible in SVG. On the surface, Visio will join dozens of other applications
that can generate SVG graphics. Looking a bit deeper,
Office Professional 2007, we will demonstrate
that the SVG generated is highly structured and editable. Going still
farther and making use of the extension mechanism within SVG, we will see how Visio has
extended SVG with additional structure in order to optimize edit-ability after
round-trip back into Visio. At the most detailed level, this session will provide an
example where SVG is used as the visual representation layer of a much richer
XML data set exchanged between multiple applications in support of business
process management (BPM). In this example,
Office 2007 Activation Key, we will demonstrate the ease
with which users can associate process information with shapes in the Visio
diagram through a BPM solution running in Visio. This BPM information is
then made available to other applications by mapping it to elements in a BPM
schema/namespace carried in the SVG and associated with graphic SVG elements at
the visualization level. This information can then be used by
analysis and line of business applications. Mr. Richard A. SeeLead Program Manager Advanced Technology TeamsVisio Product Unit Microsoft Corporation Ms. Stella DuDirector of Development,
