Phil, I would check with Electronic Book Technologies, Texcel and XSoft. XSoft
I know has a workflow management system set up to process SGML data. Texcel, I
believe, also has such a system, and EBT is working on DynaBase, an
object-oriented SGML database that will support some pretty amazing
collaborative authoring/reviewing/workflow management applications.
If you have access to the Web, you can get info on these companies from
www.sgmlopen.org, the home page (designed by my company, he grinned) for SGML
Open, the industry consortium. Another good source of information on these
topics is Robin Cover's SGML bibliography at www.sil.org. Feel free to send
me email if you have other questions.
