whitepaper XML Fragments Extended With Database Operators2007-06-01 IBM
  XML documents represent a middle range between unstructured data such as textual documents and fully structured data encoded in databases. Typically, information retrieval techniques are used to support search on the "Unstructured" end of this scale, while database techniques are used for the structured part. To date, most of the works on XML query and search have stemmed from the structured side and are strongly inspired by database techniques. In a previous work the author has described a new query approach via pieces of XML data called "XML Fragments" which are of the same nature as the queried XML documents and are specifically targeted to support the information needs of end-users in an intuitive way.

whitepaper IBM pureXML for SOA: Unlocking the business value of information2007-06-01 IBM
  As companies adapt to the realities of globalization, they face unprecedented commoditization and competition. To remain competitive, organizations must adapt more rapidly than ever before--which means that they must align their IT environments with their business goals and deliver information on demand, when and where it is needed.

whitepaper Declarative Development of Distributed Applications2007-05-29 University of Mannheim
  This paper presents an approach for the convenient implementation and efficient execution of distributed XML message processing applications. Various application classes such as Web Services are based on asynchronously exchanging XML data. However, today's programming languages and execution systems fail to support their particular demands such as integrated XML type support and efficient, asynchronous messaging. As a result, the development of distributed applications is unnecessarily complex and their runtime performance deteriorates. To overcome these deficits, the authors propose a fully declarative XML processing language that allows for the convenient specification of an individual node participating in a distributed application.

whitepaper Step 1 in Multithreaded XML Transformations (and All Other Programs)2007-05-29 JupiterMedia
  There are many ways to transform XML, and more than a few software companies make nice livings out of providing such services. But as good software developers, one should always try to use industry standards where possible. XSLT is the industry standard for this problem, and Java has a standard way to invoke XSLT, via JAXP. The Input.xml document in the exercise discussed in this paper contains a simplified partial extract of an XML file from the sending system.

whitepaper Get Started With Industry Formats and Services With pureXML: A Fastpath to Storing Your Industry XML Content in DB22007-05-24 IBM
  The industry bundles for pureXML, published on alphaWorks, illustrate access to content stored on IBM DB2 in XML, through small script or Java-based applications. They are focused on populating, validating, and querying XML content that is pertinent to a specific industry. A pureXML industry bundle is typically a downloadable zip file that contains sample XML messages (XML instance documents), and scripts or Java code that populates one or more DB2 pureXML tables with the XML messages. The scripts also issue validation and query requests on the XML messages, and transform portions of the XML messages into relational tables.

whitepaper Collaboration Speeds and Simplifies Global Product Life-Cycle Management0000-00-00 Microsoft
  For multinational companies that design, manufacture, and operate complex products such as airplanes and ships, Product Life-cycle Management (PLM) is critical. Dassault Systemes, a world leader in PLM software and services, teamed with Microsoft to enhance PLM with automation, collaboration, and communication technologies. Using products from the 2007 Microsoft Office system, Dassault Systemes created a proof-of-concept PLM solution for its customer, Dassault Aviation. The result is a conceptual Office Business Application that streamlines complex processes and allows people to collaborate and communicate across geographic and other boundaries.

whitepaper Inrix Keeps Drivers on Track With Predictive Traffic Information0000-00-00 Microsoft
  Solutions on the market today can give drivers an approximate idea of what traffic conditions are like at a given moment, or they can plot the shortest route to a destination based on street maps and speed limits. But today's traffic data doesn't help drivers make driving decisions tomorrow, next week, or next year. And mapping systems don't account for dynamic variables that can affect traffic patterns, such as bad weather or congestion. Using the Microsoft platform, Washington based Inrix, offers real-time and prediction data as XML Web services so its customers can provide more useful and actionable traffic data to end users.

whitepaper Introducing XQJ: A Java API for XQuery2007-05-22 JupiterMedia
  Query is a declarative language for querying XML that's similar to SQL for querying relational data. Most Java developers are familiar with JDBC, which provides a standard Java API to interact with a variety of SQL engines operating against relational data sources. XQJ has the same goal: It provides Java developers with a standard Java API for interacting with a variety of XQuery engines operating on XML data sources. XQJ is also referred to as JSR 225 because it is designed through the Java Community Process (JCP). The JSR 225 specification defines a set of interfaces and classes that enable Java applications to submit XQuery queries against one or more XML data sources to an XQuery engine and consume the results.

whitepaper A SAS/AF Application to Transfer Data Between SAS and XLS/CSV/XML Files2007-05-14 SAS Institute
  Transferring data between SAS and other data types, such as Microsoft Excel (XLS), Comma Separated Value (CSV), and eXtensible Markup Language (XML), could be difficult. Although SAS software provides data transfer features between SAS and XLS/CSV in "Import Data" and "Export Data", it lacks the capability to transfer multiple files or multi-sheet excel files in one transfer. Meanwhile, SAS software takes at least 4 steps on the screen to transfer a single file. As the consequence, a SAS/AF file transfer application is developed in SAS version 9.1 on Windows platform for all levels of SAS users as an alternative to other means of transferring between SAS and other different data types, i.e. XLS/CSV/XML, with many advantages.

whitepaper Creating Multi-Sheet Excel Workbooks the Easy Way With SAS2007-05-14 SAS Institute
  Transferring SAS data and analytical results between SAS and Microsoft Excel can be difficult, especially when SAS is not installed on a Windows platform. This paper discusses using the new XML support in Base SAS 9.1 software to create multi-sheet Microsoft Excel workbooks (versions 2002 and later). The reader will learn step-by-step techniques for quickly and easily creating attractive multi-sheet Excel workbooks that contain the SAS output. Tips and tricks with the ExcelXP ODS tagset will be divulged.
