XML, Web Services and the Data Revolution

Abstract

XML is a disruptive technology: one that has already upset the balance of power throughout the technology industry, and offers organizations powerful opportunities for competitive advantage. This talk focuses on the real value of XML, and the new Web services paradigm it has spawned. To understand XML's impact, it's helpful to look at XML in the context of three revolutions centered on XML and the Web. These include a revolution in how we think about and use data, a revolution in software architecture that has moved us from tightly coupled networks to a more loosely coupled, open Web space, and a revolution in how we build complex software.
