When XML data is shared (transmitted) between two parties (a sender and a receiver), the parties usually agree on the Schema of the XML data. I guess, you know what a Schema is (which Philippe also wrote).. So if the sender is sending XML data to receiver, then by validating XML data before sending gives confidence to the sender that it is sending the correct (i.e., valid data, conforming to the Schema) data. While the receiver validates data before consuming (or realizing business benefit out of it) is because, then the receiver has confidence that it is consuming the correct (valid) data.

RE: XML Design Guidelines for Facilitating the Creation and Pr

The best advice I have comes from Dr. Charles Goldfarb: Conserve nouns. It's a challenge of resolution over reference space complexity. Even if processed, humans use the output. As in behavioral programming (interactive document design vs compounding), program back from the end states of the uses of the document. Are the uses the reason for compounding? IOW, is the compounding a result of interactive screen design or printed forms? Why compounds? len From: Costello, Roger L. [mailto:[email protected]] Hi Folks, What guidelines would you recommend to someone who: - wants to create an XML vocabulary, - that will be combined with other XML vocabularies to create a compound instance document, - which will be processed by applications? In other words, what XML designs will facilitate the creation and processing of compound documents? Below is a list of guidelines that I hav... (more)

The Top 250 Players in the Cloud Computing Ecosystem

In the run-up to the next Cloud Expo, 7th Cloud Expo (November 1–4, 2010) being held at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Silicon Valley, it's time to give my earlier list a complete overhaul. Here, accordingly, is an expanded list of the most active players in the Cloud Ecosystem. I have increased it from the 'mere' 150 I identified back in January of this year, to 250, testimony – as if any were needed! – to the fierce and continuing growth of the "Elastic IT" paradigm throughout the world of enterprise computing. Editorial note: The words in quotation marks used to describe the various services and solutions in this round-up are in every case taken from the Web sites of the companies themselves. Omissions to this Top 250 list should be sent to me via Twitter (twitter.com/jg21) and I will endeavor to include them in any future revision of this newly expanded rou... (more)

Where Are RIA Technologies Headed in 2008?

I am always being told off by i-technologists for quoting Picasso as having said that computers are useless. But I still love his reasoning? "Because they can only give you answers." Picasso, like AJAXWorld Magazine, liked questions.

From that readers can themselves infer where AJAX is headed. What are the top questions to ask next about AJAX? Eric Miraglia of Yahoo! 1.  (From March'08) How do I calculate the ROI of building my RIA on the iPhone SDK vs using AJAX? 2.  How do I assess the performance of my app and decide what to do next to make it faster?  3.  When it comes to accessibility, how do I know what's required of me for my rich web apps?  Beyond what's required, what makes good business se...

Processing XML with C# and .NET

Microsoft's counterpiece to Java, the new C# programming language with its rich .NET library, uses XML as a core technology. This article presents some basic ideas, for example creating and manipulating a DOM tree, and reading and writing XML streams. I also compare .NET's solution with the SAX model, and finally I show how a complex XSLT algorithm can be more simply implemented in C#. The source code can be downloaded from and www.sys-con.com/xml/sourcec.cfm. XML Processors To process an XML document means to extract information from it. Often the extracted information should be output to a new XML (or perhaps HTML) document that's similar to the original one - then we address the transformation. Which processor to use for a given task is not a trivial question. There are a number of ready-to-use XML processors on the market - like Cocoon and Axkit - and any XML-e... (more)
