D&R IP/SOC gateway for intranet resource catalogs - join the community! ============================================================ As you may know D&R gathers and updates on its website a huge amount of data about IP/SOC products in various catalogs. We are, in fact, the largest aggregators of accurate data in the IP/SOC engineering fields. Our Silicon IP catalog now contains 2,800 blocks, the software IP catalog has 170 software IPs, and the verification IP catalog is at 150 verification IPs. And, we have many others. This information is frequently and permanently updated in cooperation with the providers. Our objective is to share these catalogs with the IP/SOC community. To enable that, D&R has created an IP/SOC gateway, which contains all these data in XML format, encapsulated for export. Any company willing to import these data (and receive permanent updates) should contact D&R for joining the D&R import gateway community. It's important to note that this import gateway is also a dialog platform--you can ask your potential suppliers to deliver you the info you need in the format that you specify. D&R will forward this requirement to the provider and will feed the data, automatically, directly to your intranet resource catalog without firewall intrusions. We've also created the D&R IP Gateway format by merging the fields required by large companies into a unified format. The D&R IP gateway is built on D&R proprietary technology which provides XML format extension, modification and data import/export capabilities during the life cycle of the catalog. If you are interested please contact us: mktg@design-reuse.com 3. For IP providers: Confidential catalogs courtesy of D&R ======================================================= If you're an IP provider - which includes software IP - we have now have a special service for you. D &R has created confidential catalogs for all of the providers listed on D&R web site (200 SIP providers, 30 software IP providers, etc.) These catalogs contain your public data as represented on the D&R site. All these data have been imported into the D&R IP Gateway. Should you be a provider listed on D&R web site and wish to see your confidential catalog, please contact us. Why have we done this? To make data dissemination to the IP/SOC community more efficient. This is your catalog. You can fill in the fields required by large OEMs, and, of course you may add your own fields. You can also correlate this catalog with your own catalog since the basic foundation of this gateway is its mirroring capability. If you are interested please contact us: mktg@design-reuse.com 4. OEMs: Unify your internal IP catalogs with external catalogs ============================================================ If you're a large OEM, you can now unify external IP catalogs with your internal IP catalog. This can be achieved right away as the Import Gateway Catalog technology supports heterogeneous formatting. So there is no need to change your internal IP descriptions to create a single catalog which supports both an external format and your internal format. Of course, unified formatting can be provided to you through the gateway. As mentioned above, as a major player you may have the clout to urge your external suppliers to send you data in your required format. So just contact D&R and declare your format. We will make it available to your selected suppliers and provide them with the tools to make it happen.. If you are interested please contact us: mktg@design-reuse.com 5.
