FRESH MEADOWS, NEW YORK, March 28th, 2000. 

The latest edition of Federal Computer Week includes a feature on the US Navy, and more specifically, on the challenge it recently faced in moving hundreds of thousand of pages of data from an old proprietary format to SGML, in accordance with the IMP DTD.

DCL President Mark Gross tells how the company first became involved in the project.  "We had an ongoing relationship with Lockheed Martin, who are obviously a key player in the defense industry.  When Lockheed first came to us regarding this conversion project, they really doubted that it could be done.  The time frames were tight, and the data (authored over many years, at many locations, by many people) was wildly inconsistent."

Lockheed's Mark Ferrara recalls "When we first raised the question of doing the conversion, we knew we couldn’t do it in-house ... the very nature and volume of what we had to convert, coupled with our tight delivery schedule, meant we needed the expertise of an outside facility with considerable SGML experience."  Thus the Lockheed Martin / DCL partnership.
