Xml Related Technologies

XML has become the standard for all kinds of integration and deployment of applications, regardless of the technology platform. XML & Related Technologies covers all aspects of dealing with XML, both from a conceptual as well as from a practical po.

The emerging Second-Generation Web is based entirely on XML and related technologies. It is intended to result in the creation of the Semantic Web, on which computers will be able to deal with the meaning ("semantics") of Web data and hence to process them in a more effective and autono mous way. This new version of the Web introduces a multitude of novel concepts, terms, and acronyms. Purpose, Scope and Methods This dictionary is an effort to specify the terminological basis of emerging XML and Semantic Web technologies. The ultimate goal of this dictionary is even broader than just to define the meaning of newwords - itaims to develop aproper understandingofthese leading-edge technologies. To achieve this, comprehensible definitions of technical terms are supported by numerous diagrams and code snippets, clearly annotated and explained. The main areas covered in this dictionary are: (1) XML syntax and core technologies, such as Namespaces, Infoset and XML Schema; (2) all the major membersofthe XML family oftechnologies, such as XSLT, XPath and XLink; (3) numerous XML-based domain-specific languages, such as NewsML (News Markup Language); (4) the concept and architecture of the Semantic Web; (5) key Semantic Web technologies,such as RDF (Resource Description Framework), RDF Schema and OWL (Web Ontology Language); and (6) Web services, including WSDL (Web Services Description Lan guage) and SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol).

Divided into two parts, this book describes the technical features of each standard of web technologies, compares closely related technologies and shows how to implement them in various application scenarios. It is for students on web development or XML courses, and for practitioners seeking to improve their insight into this subject area.

The world of XML has exploded with all of the top software companies announcing support in products ranging from e-commerce servers to databases to Web publishing systems. There has been a corresponding growth in XML-related standards and specifications as well. There are many people that use XML related technologies to some extent, but don't need to know the XML language. This book is just what they need.-- Articulate the key aspects of XML, including what XML is (and is not), which XML-related specifications are crucial to your enterprise, and how companies (even competing ones) are cooperating to create industry-specific XML languages to conduct their business-- Provides case studies showing how the marketplace is really doing XML-- Written in a non-technical style and language -- although technical terminology is used when essential.-- Cuts through the hype and hyperbole of XML that some evangelists, vendors, and journalists provide, to let you know the truth about XMLXML is revolutionizing not just e-business but brick-and-mortar business, with the growth of enterprise application integration, "digital dashboards," and trading exchanges. And now it's not just desktop display, but wireless, portable, and voice-based systems. Not just Web pages, but Web services.This book uses examples from real-world applications, but it explains them using plain-English paraphrase. It displays numerous XML exhibits -- actual listings of XML markup --

As XML gains popularity, developers are looking to implement XML technologies in their line-of-business applications This book offers readers real-world insight into XML so that they can build the best possible applications Offers an in-depth look at XML and discusses XML tools, services (RSS, SOAP, REST, WSDL), programming (DOM, SAX, Ajax), and languages (.NET, Java, PHP)

As new concepts such as virtualization, cloud computing, and web applications continue to emerge, XML has begun to assume the role as the universal language for communication among contrasting systems that grow throughout the internet. Innovations in XML Applications and Metadata Management: Advancing Technologies addresses the functionality between XML and its related technologies towards application development based on previous concepts. This book aims to highlights the variety of purposes for XML applications and how the technology development brings together advancements in the virtual world.

Special Edition Using XML, Second Edition gives developers a formal introduction to XML technology, starting with in-depth coverage of basic syntax and fundamental "pieces" of XML, including DTDs, Schemas, and Namespaces. The authors then cover various applications of XML, including transforming and displaying XML documents using CSS and XSL, locating data within XML documents using Xpath, Xlink and Xpointer, programming XML with SAX or DOM, including XML in Java or .NET applications, XML Scripting with Perl, XHTML and WML for presentation on traditional and hand-held Web browsers, and querying data or documents with Xquery. The final chapters cover technologies related to XML such as SVG, SMIL, and RDF, focusing on the practical features developers can put to use today.

bull; Nobody knows XQuery better than this group of "experts, " after all they created it. We've cornered the market on expertise in XQuery. bull; Allows readers to focus on either or both a tutorial or reference-style approach as best suits them. bull; Currently, there are no other competing XQuery books. Authors' personal perspectives offer a welcome change to formal standards specs.
