✔ HTML- Hypertext Mark-up Language
✔ XML - Extensible Mark-up Language
✔ SGML - Standard Generalized Mark-up Language
SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language)
Mascon can prepare your content for delivery via the Internet and for electronic distribution, by
converting it to structured electronic formats like XML, SGML, and HTML.
The SGML language allows describing the hierarchical logical structure of a class of textual documents
written in a DTD (Document Type Definition). We can create a book DTD or a journal article DTD.
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the DTD for the structure of Web pages.
SGML is currently used for data creation, data exchange, data storage, indexing, searching and
retrieving, printing out and data viewing. Mascon specializes in the implementation and management
of large and complex conversion projects for clients whose business is heavily dependent on
information, such as government agencies, large corporations and online information providers.

10. Offline Capturing
Offline capturing is a process undertaken for generating a TIN (Tax Identification Number) number
before a Tax ID card is printed for any applicant. Once an applicant applies for a TIN ID, his/her
information gets captured offline for verification. As soon as the information provided by the applicant
in the form is verified to be valid, the TIN ID card gets printed.
This process was carried out by Mascon for the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.
How offline capturing is done
✔ The applicant fills the registration form and submits it to the Tax Officer with a copy of
passport, ID proof and work permit. In case of bio-metric enrollment, the applicant needs to
note the TIN number from the TIN certificate on the registration form and then submit it with
the documents.
✔ After checking the applicant's completed form, a bar code is put on it by the tax officer along
with the application number. Once it gets approved, the original form is handed to the
applicant and a duplicate form is filed by the Tax Officer. The applicant then goes to the
mobile unit for capturing.
✔ The mobile device captures the clerk's signature, application number, applicant's information,
facial image and finger print and a receipt is generated. All the taxpayer's data is stored and
the receipt is given to the taxpayer as a proof of registration.
✔ The applications for TIN (Tax Identification Number) ID is then received and used for
capturing the taxpayer's information offline. The stored data is exported to flash disk and sent
to Addis Computer Center where it gets captured and uploaded on the Central Server for AFIS
validation.
✔ As soon as the data gets uploaded, the records start indicating that AFIS verification is
awaited. The AFIS server then retrieves records from the interface and verifies them.
✔ After the AFIS validation, data is sent to SIGTAS System for verification and once it is
confirmed, SIGTAS sends a request for printing the card to CPF.
✔ The TIN ID card is printed at the CPF and then provided to the taxpayer.

11. Word Processing
All text/word document formats are converted to PDF/HTML/DjVu for document distribution process.
This enhances crystal clear visual integrity, fast transfer times and high quality images at incredibly
small file sizes. It also gets printed no loss of image quality from the original thus catering to the
objective of converting non-digital documents into digital documents.
Input Document Formats
The paper documents when run through a scanner is automatically converted to an image format
which can be further processed to create a text editable and text search-able electronic document
e.g. TIFF, GIF, PDF, JPEG, and DjVu.
Output Document Formats
With the emergence of net friendly electronic document formats there grew a need to convert the
proprietary text based digital formats into document formats independent of platform, application
and version.
Simple text conversion
It is the simplest document format and is commonly used in PC and UNIX environment -
ASCII, ANSI, UNICODE. These formats are handled commonly by the word processing software.
Application Specific Formats
These document formats help the electronic document to resemble the original paper document.
When formatted these documents are fully text editable and search-able. Following are the formats
that represent this category:
✔ Word Document Format
✔ Rich Text Format
✔ Page Maker
✔ Frame Maker
✔ Quark Express
