|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | |
| 3 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | Shared Questionnaire System(SQS) is an integrated Optical Mark Reader(OMR) form processing system with straightforward GUIs, which is aimed at developing social platform to share knowledge about questionnaire based on XML standards. |
| 4 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | |
| 5 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | h2. SQS is an opensource project. |
| 6 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | |
| 7 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | SQS applications are opensource software, licensed upon Apache License, Version2.0 . You can use, hack, and redistribute them freely. |
| 8 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | |
| 9 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | h2. You can use SQS easily. |
| 10 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | |
| 11 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | SQS applications are implemented in Java, XSLT and JavaScript. They run on multi-platform environment with JRE6 VM and your web browser. You can install and launch them easily from your web browser by JavaWebStart. |
| 12 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | |
| 13 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | h2. You don't need dedicated paper nor scanners for OMR. |
| 14 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | |
| 15 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | You can use plain paper and general purpose document scanners for OMR form processing. |

| 19 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | h3. SourceEditor2.0 |
| 20 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | |
| 21 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | * An XML editor as a form designer with outline editor style GUI, which edits media type neutral abstract questionnaire sources. |
| 22 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | * The sources can be transformed into OMR forms by using DOM, SAX, XSLT and XSL-FO. |
| 23 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | * The OMR forms can be published as PDF files through embedded FO processor with pre-configured TrueType fonts. |
| 24 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | * Internationalized: English and Japanese localized resources are available. |
| 25 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | * You can launch SourceEditor2.0 by JavaWebStart. |
| 26 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | |
| 27 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | h3. MarkReader2.0 |
| 28 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | |
| 29 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | * An OMR processor, which processes images of scanned forms, extracts answers from them, calculates statistical results(ex. Excel and CSV spreadsheet files, pie and bar charts). |
| 30 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | * The OMR runs in distributed parallel processes based on loosely coupled cluster computing subsystem, with zero configuration. The distributed parallel processes recognize each other through IP multicast. |
| 31 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | * The OMR results can be browsed and edited through iTunes like AJAX user interfaces. |
| 32 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | * The operators can enter questionnaire item texts of free answer areas manually. |
| 33 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | * Internationalized: English and Japanese localized resources are available. |
| 34 | 1 | Hiroya Kubo | * You can launch MarkReader2.0 by JavaWebStart. |
