Content from lotus notes

Hi, somebody has expirience with getting content from lotus notes into teamsite?
What is the best practise for that?

I'm thinking of following:
creating xml-files out ot notes documents and convert it into dcr.
What do you think?

regards

If you've got the budget (who does?) check out Venetica. They're a company selling a product called "Venice Bridge" that I've seen a demo for . . . looks pretty cool, but its a pretty extensive solution that warrants special business cases to justify the expense.

How about using OpenTransform Module

Here is a link for OT

Otherwise, I guess, you can convert all notes docs to XML then Use TeamXML to get all xml docs to teamSite? but I am not sure about this solution?

It all depends on what you want to do with the content that you are bringing in.

If you want to use and edit the content using TeamSite Templating, then it would be better to use XSLT or any other transformation mechanism to convert the XML content into Interwoven Templating DCRs. You will of course have to design your Templating categories up-front and figure out which categories the content belongs to.

If you intend to store the XML content so that you can search and re-use the content and intend to use the functionality provided by TeamXML, then it might make sense to bring the XML content into TeamSite first and then import it into TeamXML. That would require a little more thought about the data-model, TeamXML categories etc - almost like having to design a schema before bringing the content into a database.

You can think of TeamXML essentially as an XML object repository that can store and manage fragments of XML content. It is not designed to be used as an XML import utility into TeamSite.

I hope this helps..
