ZapNote: DreamFactory - Server-Less Rich Client for Web Services ZapNote»rank:by: ZapThink, Ronald D. Schmelzer
: :Users are coming to expect increasingly greater interactivity from their distributed applications. They are demanding a set of rich user experience capabilities from their Web and composite applications that include visual interactivity elements and instant access to information they have become accustomed to as part of their desktop computing experience. In addition, businesses want to gain the operational and cost advantages of deploying applications over the Internet, but don’t want the limitations that Web browsers impose on user interfaces. DreamFactory hopes to eliminate the trade-offs that companies must make between rich client interfaces and low-cost distributed computing by offering a 100% client-based rich client solution that leverages XML, Web Services, and Internet ... |
ZapNote: Epicentric ZapNote: Web Services Portal Platform and User Interface Specifications»rank:by: ZapThink, Ronald D. Schmelzer
: :Portals are being used to provide access to content sources or applications such as Siebel and SAP, and enable a common composite application that is accessible via a web browser-based interface. There is a strong intersection with this application-centric use of portals and what is going on with Web Services. Portals provide a compelling means for application delivery of Web Services in a familiar development and management environment. Epicentric has produced a number of advanced products and services to address this capability, and has championed the development of XML-based formats for specification of presentation-layer interfaces for Web Services. |

ZapNote: Epigraph ZapNote: Managing Ontologies and XML Data»rank:by: ZapThink, Ronald D. Schmelzer
: :The theory of the Semantic Web is that systems can interact autonomously by sharing a language as well as a logical framework for making decisions. Powered by XML and RDF, the Semantic Web offers a mechanism for informing systems of the context or intent of the information described. A core element of any Semantic Web system is the maintenance of a storage repository for ontologies and instance documents. Many Semantic Web systems thus become, in effect, Content Management system, enabling the management of vast amounts of XML data and providing mechanisms for users to edit and maintain ontologies. Epigraph's flagship product, Xcellerant, provides a visual and architectural management tool for housing all ... |
ZapNote: eXcelon ZapNote: Robust Native XML Data Storage and Management»rank:by: ZapThink, Ronald D. Schmelzer
: :There are two major categories of XML data store: extensions to relational database systems (RDBMS) and a new category of "Native" XML data stores (NXDs). While extensions to RDBMS systems simply enable RDBMS databases to map XML documents to relational tables, NXDs allow users to insert XML documents directly into the system without need for mapping or interacting with anything besides the XML document. eXcelon's eXtensible Information Server (XIS) is an "XML data management system (XDBMS)" that is aimed squarely at the problem of storing arbitrarily structured XML documents. Among other features, XIS provides node level management of XML data, dealing with XML document information at the element level, rather than the ... |

ZapNote: Fiorano Software ZapNote: Delivering on the Promise of Process-Driven, Service-Oriented Integration»rank:by: ZapThink, Ronald D. Schmelzer

The system provides a means to automate Web Service roll out, synchronize infrastructure configuration, and provide value-added services in the form of third-party non-repudiation, service level agreements, secure and reliable delivery, and ongoing management of the Web Services network. |
ZapNote: Forum Systems ZapNote: Advanced XML Network Appliance»rank:by: ZapThink, Ronald D. Schmelzer
