Description
"The book addresses a sorely missing set of considerations in the real world... This is a very timely book."
-Peter
Herzum, author of Business Component Factory and CEO of Herzum Software
XML is a tremendous enabler for platform agnostic
data and metadata exchanges. However, there are no clear processes and techniques specifically focused on the engineering of XML structures
to support reuse and integration simplicity, which are of particular importance in the age of application integration and Web services.
This book describes the challenges of using XML in a manner that promotes simplification of integration, and a high degree of schema
reuse. It also describes the syntactical capabilities of XML and XML Schemas, and the similarities (and in some cases limitations) of
XML DTDs. This book presents combinations of architectural and design approaches to using XML as well as numerous syntactical and working
examples.
Audience:
data architects, data base administrators, data modelers, etc; enterprise application integration implementers; web/e-commerce developers and architects
