XML: The Future of the Web
Boca Raton, FL - XML - eXtensible Markup Language. Some say this new standard for encoding data is the future of the web, others say it's merely the "plumbing" behind it. But a very high proportion of the most popular and visible websites is already using XML to move data more efficiently behind the scenes. And virtually every industry - from health care to petrochemicals - is in the process of creating its own XML-based language.
In the words of Sun Microsystems' Simon Phipps, "XML is about keeping the meaning in the data, and that means that XML will be used anywhere there's data, and that means everywhere..."
What exactly is XML? How does it work? And what can it do for your business?
An upcoming edition of the award-winning television series TECHNO 2100: XML - The Future of the Web will answer those questions. The program is produced by Information Television Network and is made possible by Sun Microsystems.
Featuring interviews with technical experts including Tim Bray, co-author of the XML specification, the program will showcase real life applications of XML technology. For example, a case study in the petrochemical industry will illustrate how XML is fulfilling the promise of EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), and will help make companies run more efficiently.
Although fundamentally a simple concept, XML can quickly become complex when the myriad technical specifications related to it are considered. TECHNO 2100: XML - The Future of the Web will help sort through the confusion, and show how XML will eliminate many problems with data incompatibility.
