The bundle, called Office Information Bridge Framework, includes an Office add-in for interpreting XML (Extensible Markup Language) metadata, a server component that exposes data, views and actions of a Web service, and a metadata designer that plugs into the Visual Studio developer tool, Microsoft said at its Tech Ed user event in San Diego."

I worked for:

• Geophysics.nl
• C-Factory
• Evident Interactive
• Centrical
• Albumprinter
