| Links: A Child's Garden of XML
Despite the enormous enthusiasm XML has aroused in fields from literate programming to database management to business interchange, it has so far mostly missed its original target, the World Wide Web. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) designed XML for the Web, but its early promise has been held up by the lack of a few key standards - notably XLink, its hypertext link mechanism - and limited browser implementation. XML has barely moved out of the starting gate as a medium for Web development.

Even as Internet and intranet technologies gain acceptance in the enterprise, they continue to fall short of solving a crucial business problem: How to get the right information to the right person at the right time. DataChannel's products are designed to enable effective communication between humans and for business-to-business transactions. XML is the strategic format for the encoding information. It allows for the preservation of the richness and contextual information needed in order to provide an active channel for communication.

When does the bubble pop, and when do we see what of value is left behind? That moment usually happens when you push aside the hype and try to do something real with the technology. Then you decide if the benefits are worth the effort. I believe that's taking place now. I also believe that companies are finding immediate benefits in terms of heterogeneous data exchange. But the real carrot is the ability to repurpose and exchange today's data using formats and devices that have yet to be devised.

Schrijf een recensie | Voeg to aan del.icio.us Comparing W3C XML Schemas and Document Type Definitions (DTDs)
Many developers expect that XML schemas will soon supplant DTDs for specifying XML document types. David Mertz is skeptical that schemas will replace DTDs, though he believes that XML schemas are an invaluable tool in a developer's arsenal. This installment of the "XML Matters" column steps up to the challenge of comparing schemas and DTDs and clarifying just what is going on in the XML schema world. [IBM developerworks 03/2001]

Schrijf een recensie | Voeg to aan del.icio.us Defining an XML Document Model with a Document Type Definition (DTD)
An XML document is considered "well written" when its syntax is correct, and "valid" when it respects a document model. While a document must be "well written," it does not necessarily have to be "valid." However, as XML is a meta language, there are an infinite number of XML formats, and most XML documents should respect a particular document model, which can be defined in one of two ways: By a Document Type Definition (DTD); By an XML Schema. In this article, we are going to look at how you should go about implementing the former, using a DTD.

When the business community adopted the Internet en masse, many believed that there would soon be an infrastructure in place to help facilitate the timely communication of critical information among trading partners. Although it has taken time, we are now beginning to see the initial rollout of that infrastructure in the form of new business-to-business (B2B) commerce chains. This is due in large part to the widespread availability of new XML-based B2B systems. [Webtechniques 11/2000]

Today the computing world tends toward using XML for any and all formal specifications and data descriptions. The author, a big fan of XML, asks a blasphemous question: "Is XML totalitarianism a good idea?" In this opinion piece, Terence Parr, co-founder of jGuru, demonstrates that XML makes a lousy human interface. He also provides questions to ask yourself to determine if XML is appropriate even for your project's program-to-program interface needs. [IBM developerworks 08/2001]

Can it be painlessly adopted to XML syntax and, more importantly, to XML's ideology of generalized markup? Read on for some practical answers to these questions...

Schrijf een recensie | Voeg to aan del.icio.us Template Resolution in XML/HTML
This paper describes a framework for applying templates to applications and documents on the Web. The primary motivation is the need of Web application developers to separate program logic from presentation logic. A template is a prototypical document or part thereof. It consists of content in the target language, HTML, XML, or plain text, plus markup specifying variable parts of the document. The Template Markup Language (TML) is an application of XML which defines a generic and flexible set of template markup elements. TRiX (Template Resolution in XML/HTML) is a framework for processing TML. It excels in being highly extensible - both in the types of values variables can take, variables being URLs, and in the set of template elements recognized.

Schrijf een recensie | Voeg to aan del.icio.us Topic Maps Frequently Asked Questions
Topic Maps are SGML or XML documents that describe what an information set is about, by formally declaring topics, and by linking the relevant parts of the information set to the appropriate topics. Since they can be in separate documents, and since they can work without changing an information set, we say that Topic Maps can be applied from "above" the information set, rather than from "inside" them; they are superimposed views. A topic map expresses someone's opinion about what the topics are, and which parts of an information set are relevant to which topics. There is no limit to the number of topic maps that can be created above the same information set.

The world of traditional data storage and XML have never been closer together. To better understand how data storage and retrievel works in an XML world, this article will first discuss the past, present, and future of structuring XML documents. Then it will delve into the languages that add the ability to query an XML document similar to a traditional data store. This will be followed by an exploration of how the most popular RDBMSs have recognized the importance of this new data storage format and have integrated XML into their latest releases. Finally the rise of new data storage and retrieval systems specifically designed for handling XML will be shown. [Kuro5hin 29/10/2001]

The W3C will finally declare version 4.0 the last in history, after a serious of questionable innovations, all the way from the tag in version 2, over frames in 3.2, to more nonsense in 4.0. While HTML has brought a tidal wave of information sharing to the world via the Web, it brought Web developers nothing but grief: Bloated browsers with incompatible implementations of slow and sometimes silly standards. But fear not, XML comes to the rescue - or, then again, not?

The general idea of navigation is explained, and a new language, the XML Document Navigation Language (XDNL) is proposed in this note. [W3C 23/4/2000]

The intent here is to objectively view how well XML stands on its own and not to demonstrate the viability of XML in comparison to previous and existing standards (although this line gets blurred at times by necessity). The view expressed in this work should not be taken as lack of enthusiasm for XML and related efforts, but rather that of putting the issues surrounding XML in perspective. It is the hope of this work to provide a basis towards an impartial assessment of XML.
