The free seminar is designed to provide software architects and software developers with thought-provoking information and actionable best practices for optimising data access and data integration within Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The workshop will take a hands-on approach to exploring the role of data management within SOA.
Guidelines for service-oriented data access and management techniques (data services) are sparse and those that are available have typically been formulated by SOA experts - not data management experts. As a result, different understandings of the same problems turn into a constant source of confusion and headaches. Introducing an approach to data services based on XML and XQuery, the workshop will examine a typical scenario where a hypothetical IT organisation needs to create a set of data services exposing various functionality. Topics to be addressed during the working session include:
- Transforming XML documents into user-defined formats
- Aggregating XML documents with relational data
- Consuming Web services in XQuery
- Exposing XQuery as data services
- Integrating with non-XML B2B standards, like EDI
- Adhering to XML industry standards, such as ACORD for insurance
Dr. Carlo Innocenti, senior XML program manager at DataDirect Technologies will write, test and deploy a real XML and XQuery-based solution live in front of the audience.
