Description
This course introduces XML concepts and how they can be applied in the context of general data processing, data integration and data exchange. A good foundation is provided for an understanding of how XML in its many forms has permeated the enterprise.
XML is examined as a format for data management and exchange, as well as investigating the methods available for storing and retrieving XML based data using Oracle 9i as an example database platform.
The course uses Microsoft Internet Explorer as a tool for validation and inspection of XML documents, with the manipulation of XML data examined through the use of the Java and JavaScript languages.
Several of the more popular open source tools are also reviewed, with an emphasis on the Apache XML Project.
