"Frank Coyle's XML,Web Services, and the Data Revolution does a great job of explaining the XML phenomenon by clearly describing where it came from, why it has proved so useful, and where it is likely to take us."—Michael Champion

XML, Web Services, and the Data Revolution presents a revealing view of XML that places this emerging technology in the context of the ongoing Web revolution. Written for business and technical professionals, this book reveals the true value of XML for distributed information systems, explaining how it is transforming the way organizations manage data and build software systems, and the opportunities it offers for those organizations that understand its significance and impact.

This book places XML at the heart of a paradigm shift that is bridging the gap between traditional tightly coupled proprietary networks (DCOM, CORBA) and the dynamic, loosely-coupled, data-driven Web. The author explains how XML's simple rules for defining data vocabularies and protocols have opened up new possibilities for server to server interaction in the form of Web services for dynamic discovery and interaction. He goes on to discuss how frameworks such as .NET and J2EE(TM) provide important messaging, transaction, and security services for leveraging Web services in enterprise computing. The book also discusses how XML and Web services reflect a fundamental shift in software construction from monolithic applications to software based on the composition of simple parts. In addition, the book showcases XML at work in a wide array of applications, and explores how major software organizations have responded to the changes brought about by XML-based technology.

Specific topics include:

  • XML and its role in the expanding enterprise
  • The XML family of technologies including:
     
  •       CSS, XFORMS, XHTML, and VoiceXML presentation technologies
  •       DTDs and XML Schema technologies for structure and typing
  •       XSLT, XPATH, and XQUERY technologies for manipulating XML
  • The three waves of XML in practice:
     
  •       Vertical industry-specific data vocabularies
  •       Horizontal industry vocabularies (SVG, SMIL, EJB descriptors)
  •       XML protocols (XML-RPC, SOAP)
  • UDDI and WDSL (Web Services Definition Language)
  • XML security, including XML Encryption, XML Signature, and XML Key Management Specification
  • How .NET and J2EE(TM) fulfill the need for transactions and security for Web services
  • ebXML and process-based Web interaction
  • A new role for mainframe-based legacy applications
  • A future where Web services meets P2P (peer-to-peer) computing

Containing both technical details and a broader perspective, XML, Web Services, and the Data Revolution provides the insight organizations must have to understand and harness this powerful technology for a successful venture into the evolving, Web-based enterprise computing environment.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

「Frank Coyle的《XML、Web Services和數據革命》很好地解釋了XML現象,清楚地描述了它的起源、為什麼它如此有用,以及它可能帶給我們的未來。」- Michael Champion

《XML、Web Services和數據革命》揭示了XML的真正價值,將這一新興技術置於持續進行的Web革命的背景下。這本書針對商業和技術專業人士,揭示了XML對分散式信息系統的真正價值,解釋了它如何改變組織管理數據和構建軟件系統的方式,以及對於那些理解其重要性和影響的組織所提供的機會。

這本書將XML置於一個範式轉變的核心位置,將傳統緊密耦合的專有網絡(DCOM、CORBA)與動態、鬆散耦合的數據驅動Web之間的鴻溝。作者解釋了XML簡單的定義數據詞彙和協議的規則如何為動態發現和交互的Web服務形式的服務器之間的交互打開了新的可能性。他繼續討論了.NET和J2EE(TM)等框架如何為企業計算中利用Web服務提供重要的消息、事務和安全服務。該書還討論了XML和Web服務如何反映了軟件構建從巨型應用程序轉向基於簡單部件組合的基本變革。此外,該書展示了XML在各種應用中的應用,並探討了主要軟件組織如何應對XML技術帶來的變化。

具體主題包括:

- XML及其在擴展企業中的作用
- XML技術家族,包括CSS、XFORMS、XHTML和VoiceXML演示技術
- 用於結構和類型的DTD和XML Schema技術
- 用於操作XML的XSLT、XPATH和XQUERY技術
- XML在實踐中的三個波浪:
- 垂直行業特定的數據詞彙
- 水平行業詞彙(SVG、SMIL、EJB描述符)
- XML協議(XML-RPC、SOAP)
- UDDI和WDSL(Web服務定義語言)
- XML安全性,包括XML加密、XML簽名和XML密鑰管理規範
- .NET和J2EE(TM)如何滿足Web服務的事務和安全性需求
- ebXML和基於過程的Web交互
- 基於主機的遺留應用程序的新角色
- Web服務與P2P(點對點)計算相結合的未來

《XML、Web Services和數據革命》既包含技術細節,又具有更廣泛的視角,為組織提供了必要的洞察力,以理解並利用這一強大技術,成功進入不斷演變的基於Web的企業計算環境。
