Icreon
has the experience and the technical know how to assist you in web
designing, developing and deploying open standard infrastructure
solutions based on XML and related standards.
XML is the fastest evolving technology for Web Applications. To address
the requirements of commercial Web publishing and enable the further
expansion of Web technology into new domains of distributed document
processing, the World Wide Web Consortium has developed an Extensible
Markup Language (XML) for applications that require functionality
beyond the current Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).
XML is a universal language for data on the Web that lets developers
deliver content from a wide variety of applications to the desktop.
XML promises to standardize the way information is searched for, exchanged,
adaptively presented, and personalized.
Data such as customer information, credit card transactions, purchase
orders, and fulfillment requests can be converted to XML and shared
across applications without changing legacy systems. XML can be used
to exchange data between Web server and browser or between trading
partners without the existing systems needing any prior description
of the data's structure.
XML Applications Areas:
The applications that drive the acceptance of XML are those that cannot
be accomplished within the limitations of HTML.
These applications can be divided into three broad categories:
1. Applications that require the Web client to mediate between
two or more heterogeneous databases.
2. Applications that attempt to distribute a significant proportion
of the processing load from the Web server to the Web client.
3. Applications that require the Web client to present different
views of the same data to different users.
Icreon focuses on following XML Applications Areas:
1. Use of XML for data transfer
2. Use of XML for data distribution
3. For publication of data
4. For offline/online data synchronization
5. Enable internationalized media-independent electronic publishing
6. Allow industries to define platform-independent protocols
for the exchange of data, especially the data of electronic commerce
7. Deliver information to user agents in a form that allows
automatic processing after receipt
8. Make it easier to develop software to handle specialized
information distributed over the Web
9. Make it easy for people to process data using inexpensive
software
10. Allow people to display information the way they want it,
under style sheet control
11. Make it easier to provide metadata -- data about information
-- that will help people find information and help information producers
and consumers find each other.
Intranet applications that work across databases, especially where
policies must be enforced: purchase orders, expense requests, etc. |
