OpenAccess
PerformX® OpenAccess
is an ideal template model to encapsulate agency documentation
standards and to propagate them throughout the organization whilst
retaining the flexibility to meet departmental and program specific
requirements.
'PerformX®
OpenAccess makes it easy to develop and maintain consistent structured
documents across the entire organisation.'
The greatest challenge in the development of structured documents
is to provide authors with the guidance and tools they need to
implement styles, tables, graphics, links etc... in a controlled
and consistent way. PerformX®
OpenAccess templates guide authors in the development and maintenance
of consistent documents by encapsulating structural, content and
presentation standards; authors can simply 'fill in the blanks'.
PerformX® OpenAccess
templates:
- encapsulate content standards
- enforce adherence to styles
- provide table, linking, graphic and checking wizards
- enable maximum flexibility
- support automated production of accessible HTML, RTF or PDF
- encapsulate AGLS metadata standards
- provide redaction capability
PerformX® OpenAccess
templates addresses a range of issues facing agencies in the publishing
of accessible redacted documents to meet requirements of open
Government:
- publishing to WCAG 2.0 accessibility criteria
- implementation of AGLS metadata standards
- secure redaction
Accessible publishing
The single biggest issue in terms of generating accessible output
is always the absence of standards or disciplines around the way
documents are structured in Word. Documents structured with PerformX®
OpenAccess templates support effective ongoing maintenance and
automated accessible publishing.
Documents developed with PerformX® templates meet both Priority
1 and 2 requirements of WCAG 2.0 when passed through HTML Transit
or when saved as RTF or PDF.

Metadata implementation
PerformX® OpenAccess
provides an easy to use wizard for implementing a comprehensive
set of configurable metadata elements, both AGLS and agency specific.
Authors simply select allowed values which are then stored as
Word properties and can be exposed upon import into the departmental
CMS.
Redaction
PerformX® OpenAccess
provides tools to highlight and redact content in Word documents.
Documents are 'cleansed' of any remnants of original content before
publishing.
