Making Markup Invisible: XML Legislative
Drafting With No Author-Visible Tags - The
Office of the Secretary of the United States Senate is
developing and implementing an XML-based editing
system for the authoring of legislation designed to
make the highly structured markup completely
transparent to users. Authors work in an environment
similar to that of a word processor in a completely
"tags-off" view, with the system maintaining the
markup and structure behind the scenes at all times.
This system reduces the XML knowledge burden on
subject-matter experts to almost zero, allowing
authors to concentrate on content while needing to
know almost nothing about markup.

Turbo-Charging Data Integration for Web
Services with TigerLogic XDMS
The presenters will discuss how to integrate XML and
traditional non-XML data sources for use in
enterprise Web Services, and unveil how TigerLogic
XML Data Management Server, the first mid-tier
XML operational data server of its kind, substantially
simplifies the development and deployment of
Web-enabled applications. The high performance
TigerLogic XDMS XML data management
capabilities are exposed to developers through XML
standards and popular connectivity options.
TigerLogic XDMS supports XML standards such as
DTD, XML Schema, and XPath. TigerLogic XDMS
also supports Java, HTTP, SOAP, and J2EE
Connector Architecture for connectivity. The support
of these open st andards and connectivity options
lowers the learning curve for developers and enables
TigerLogic XDMS to boost productivity by
seamlessly integrating with existing enterprise
application environments and minimizing administrative
overhead.
