Specially written for EMC customers, partners, developers, and prospects, XML expert, Kurt Cagle shares this new white paper, Data in Motion: An XML Technologies Primer - A Detailed Review.

The paper explains constituent parts of the XML ecosystem, how they work together, and what role each plays in developing applications for publishing, business reporting, medical record systems, legal contracts, airline specifications, and a host of other potential applications.

EMC Documentum Dynamic Delivery Services (DDS) is a new application platform for applying key XML standards to large, complex, and specialized data sets, as well as for processing this content for both embedded Java and Rich Internet applications.

Author Kurt Cagle is the managing editor of XMLToday.org, and contributing editor to O'Reilly Media, Jupiter Media's DevX, and ECT's Tech News World.

If you are an application developer, architect, or IT manager then this white paper is required reading for reducing development costs while improving application functionality and performance.

To achieve the promise of XML, it is important to blend the power of XML with the capabilities of enterprise content management (ECM).

XML adds structure and intelligence to enterprise content. ECM provides management and governance to XML, and delivers the tools and services for controlling granular content components on a large scale, across multiple enterprise applications.

This white paper lays out the content management challenges facing enterprises today, and how an XML content platform can help meet those challenges. It also describes how an XML content platform—specifically Documentum with the addition of xDB and XML services—can broaden use of your enterprise applications, further unlocking the value of enterprise information.

This new article, aimed at developers with a Java background, provides an introduction to Dynamic Delivery Services (DDS) and how they can be used to build an application. DDS is a Java toolkit for developing XML delivery applications on top of xDB, EMC's XML database product.

A Simple DDS Primer is perfect for those who need to gain insight in the DDS application creation process, and a basic understanding of the basic DDS concepts, tools, and functions. Descriptions in the article are high level and offer links to DDS documentation and demo applications, for which source code is available. Concepts discussed in this document are illustrated in the demos.
