ZapNote: MISMO ZapNote: An Implementation of Mortgage Industry Standards»rank:by: ZapThink, Ronald D. Schmelzer
: :The need for standardization and simplification in the mortgage industry is clear. In order to obtain a mortgage, many complex and interrelated processes must occur. These processes frequently cross-organizational and divisional boundaries and so standards have long been a requirement for communication. One of the biggest issues in the mortgage industry is the number of interactions between collaborating parties and the complexity of these interactions. The Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Organization (MISMO) was created in 1999 under the auspices of the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) in order to facilitate the ... |

ZapNote: Transentric ZapNote: Cross-Industry Shipping and Logistics Format»rank: 6073160by: ZapThink, Ronald D. Schmelzer
: :Transentric, a spin-off of transportation giant Union Pacific, has created TransXML, an XML format for the specification of shipping and logistics information in a cross-industry manner. Most manufacturing, retail, and other supply-chain affected industries have a requirement for specifying shipping information. Transentric's format is meant to simplify and standardize these requirements. Organizations seeking to specify shipping and logistics information should examine TransXML for applicability and possible usage. |
ZapNote: Xyleme ZapNote: Intelligent Access to Content»rank: 6073160by: 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 ... |

While there are more automated and electronic means for payment, each of these existing solutions have challenges that have prevented completely successful adoption in a business-to-business environment. Clareon has created PayMode as a bank-neutral, high-volume electronic payment solution for secure, information-rich, business-to-business transactions. PayMode is an Internet and XML-based settlement mechanism that allows businesses to send and receive payments and ... |
ZapNote: LogML ZapNote: Representing Web Statistics and Usage Information»rank: 6073160by: ZapThink, Ronald D. Schmelzer
: :The key concept behind the idea of data mining using web server log file information is that web site users are inherently "telling" the web server where the relevant information they are seeking is located, and what important information is needed so web masters can appropriately position the information for maximum efficiency. Rather than simply crawling through every page on a website, not always an efficient mechanism for obtaining this information, LOGML can be used as an XML repository for actual usage patterns. |

ZapNote: nCipher ZapNote: Securing XML and Web Services Zones of Risk»rank: 4420086by: ZapThink, Ronald D. Schmelzer
: :Due to XMLs human readable nature, XML and Web Services are particularly vulnerable to security compromises. As a result, any XML message, including SOAP messages, must be enhanced with security features including encryption, digital signatures, authentication mechanisms, and privacy controls. However, organizations face many performance and efficiency issues to properly implement SSL and PKI, which are critical elements to XML and Web Services securitynCipher provides hardware security modules (HSMs) that deliver high performance cryptographic offload and secure key management used for SSL, PKI and custom software applications. nCiphers FIPS 140 ... |

Sarvega: Appliance and Embeddable Software Approaches that Address XML Performance Challenges ZapNote»rank: 4420086by: ZapThink, Ronald D. Schmelzer
: :As XML continues to proliferate on the corporate network, companies increasingly desire approaches that provide capabilities for security, management, process, and data manipulation without degrading overall network performance. As a result, hardware platform vendors are providing solutions that are able to offer substantially higher performance over purely software-based solutions. As a result, companies need new approaches to deal with messages on the network that stress the capabilities of the general purpose hardware and software that now deals with the problem. Sarvega aims to meet these needs with a family of ... |
ZapNote: Autonomy ZapNote: Helping to Derive Meaning for the Web»rank: 4420086by: ZapThink, Ronald D. Schmelzer
: :While a human can identify the similarity between XML tags such as "PO", "PurchaseOrder", and "PurchOrd", an automated system would identify them as differently as "green", "car", and "jump". To address these issues of meaning, or "semantics", Autonomy has developed a set of products that aim to simplify the process of context-aware categorization and tag-set matching. While not a "Semantic Web" technology in the strict sense, it plays in that general environment. |
