XML in Enterprise Systems: Its Roles and Benefits

چکیده
Enterprise information integration (EII) requires an accurate, precise and complete understanding of the disparate data sources, the needs of the information consumers, and how these map to the business concepts of the enterprise. In practice, such integration takes place in context of any enterprise information system. In the paper we explain various approaches to EII, its architectures as well as its association to enterprise application integration. We justify why XML technology contributes to finding sufficiently powerful support for EII. We present some features of the XML technology, mainly its database part, and show how it is usable in EII.

متن کاملUsing XML Transformations for Enterprise Architectures
In this paper we report on the use of XML transformations in the context of Enterprise Architectures. We show that XML transformation techniques are valuable to the analysis, selection and, especially, the visualization of enterprise architectures. We propose a way to describe architectural information within a single XML document. Moreover, we propose transformational techniques to extract vie...
متن کاملSOA Performance Enhancement Through XML Fragment Caching
O are increasingly choosing to implement service-oriented architectures to integrate distributed, loosely coupled applications. These architectures are implemented as services, which typically use XMLbased messaging to communicate between service consumers and service providers across enterprise networks. We propose a scheme for caching fragments of service response messages to improve performa...
