ZapNote: Xaware ZapNote: XML-based Data Integration»rank:by: ZapThink, Ronald D. Schmelzer
: :Efforts to "XML enable" the enterprise will be slowed by efforts to extract and manipulate these data sources. In addition, there has been a long sought-after goal of aggregating data from disparate data sources and providing a single interface for querying and retrieval of results. XAware applies an XML front-end to legacy data and thus abstracts interface and application integration requirements with end sources of data. |
ZapNote: Xlipstream - Information Integration at Network Speed ZapNote»rank:by: ZapThink, Ronald D. Schmelzer
: :In order for companies to realize the value of the information contained in critical business processes, they must integrate and connect the various silos of information in the enterprise, where much of the information is locked up in closed, proprietary, and yesterday’s systems. Many of these companies find the evolving set of software-based integration solutions currently on the market to be inadequate for extracting such information. Such companies require a solution that allows them to integrate with proprietary systems without requiring software installation at all. Xlipstream’s XGA solution is a hardware appliance that meets these difficult needs for information integration by transforming output intended for printing into XML. Xlipstream’s solution is compelling ... |

ZapNote: Xyleme ZapNote: Intelligent Access to Content»rank: 3940032by: ZapThink, Ronald D. Schmelzer
: :We often come to think of information as being either structured data stored in databases or unstructured documents stored on file systems or in full-text search engines. However, the reality is that information is represented in a wide spectrum of structures. XML is helping to bridge the worlds of structured and unstructured content by providing a unified means to represent information regardless of its structure. Since XML is inherently hierarchical and relies on tags to incorporate structure and meaning, the technologies for XML-based information retrieval and management are different from both database technologies and unstructured text technologies. Xyleme realizes that the value of an XML Data Store is not in simply a ... |
ZapNote: XYZFind ZapNote: A Native XML Database Focused on Simplicity»rank: 3940032by: ZapThink, Ronald D. Schmelzer
: :XYZFind provides a general-purpose NXD storage and retrieval system for XML documents, regardless of their content or schema. XYZFind aims to solve the problem of search and query over identifiable "islands of data" where the content its too varied to accommodate with file system tools. XYZFind's utilizes a proprietary query language and has a proprietary, text-based storage architecture that utilizes a meta-schema encompassing an aggregate, schema-independent view of the data. |
