XML was developed around 1996 and is a subset of SGML. It's documents conform to SGML. XML was made less complicated than SGML to enable its use on the web. XML uses the ISO 10646 (Unicode) standard for encoding characters. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/14487.html UML is a very important programming language for those who work in either the software development, or software engineering field. UML is the program of choice for many software developers because it uses an object oriented approach, and this is valuable for many contemporary software applications. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/14445.html There are a number of reasons why you will want to consider Unified Modeling Language (UML) - for your application development. When I think of UML, one term which comes to mind is "software quality." One thing that has plagued the software industry in recent year is poor software design. While the software industry has done fairly well for the last decade, the impact of globalization is changing the ways in which software is designed. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/14427.html UML, or Unified Modeling Language, is a specification language that is used in the software engineering field. It can be defined as a general purpose language that uses a graphical designation which can create an abstract model. This abstract model can then be used in a system. This system is called the UML model. The Object Management group is responsible for defining UML, and they do this via the UML metamodel. XMI can be used to serialize the UML model. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/14331.html A collection of 7 FAQs on RSS (Really Simple Syndication). Clear answers are provided with tutorial samples on introduction to Website syndication technology; RSS and Atom syndication file standards and versions. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/14188.html You can display any XML content into the HTML page using Data Island http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/4027.html RSS and Atom are XML formats for messages and other information that is updated frequently. The documents that are written in these formats are called "newfeeds" or "feeds". Get an overview about scenarios, softwares, requirements, syntax and more. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/3262.html Linking in XML is divided into two parts, XLink and XPointers. XLink, the XML Linking Language, defines how one document links to another document. XPointer, the XML Pointer Language, defines how individual parts of a document are addressed. An XLink points to a URI (in practice, a URL) that specifies a particular resource. This URI may include an XPointer part that more specifically identifies the desired part or section of the targeted resource or document. This paper explores XLinks. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/3246.html XPointer, the XML Pointer Language, defines an addressing scheme for individual parts of an XML document. These addresses can be used by any application that needs to identify parts of or locations in an XML document. For instance, an XML editor could use an XPointer to identify the current position of the insertion point or the range of the selection. An XInclude processor can use an XPointer to determine what part of a document to include. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/3237.html XSL Formatting Objects (XSL-FO) are the second half of the Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL). XSL-FO is an XML application that describes how pages will look when presented to a reader. A style sheet uses the XSL transformation language to transform an XML document in a semantic vocabulary into a new XML document that uses the XSL-FO presentational vocabulary. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/3229.html This tutorial will show you the different methods of retrieving XML from SQL Server, how to control how the data is returned, and then discuss how to navigate through the returned results. You will also learn ways of viewing SQL Server tables from an XML perspective. From there you’ll learn how to load data into SQL Server using XML natively, including real-time over HTTP. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/3195.html The .NET Framework uses XML extensively. The Framework Class Library (FCL) provides an extensive set of XML-related classes. Much of Visual Studio's internal implementation also employs XML. In this paper, we introduce XML, XML-related technologies and key classes for creating and manipulating XML documents. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/3131.html This paper is a starting point for understanding XML Schema. It's organized as an introduction to how the W3C's XML Schema language defines the mechanisms that allow developers to define document models and datatypes. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/2982.html PHP and XML, technical or cultural gap? is an article by Eric van der Vlist who in detail argues about the present gap in XML and PHP. Inspite of PHP being one of the first language to support XML, the XML programmers presently not seem to be interested in PHP, the author tries to figure out what maybe the problem. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/2952.html This paper addresses one of the challenges faced by the companies participating in the eCommerce revolution: architecting an eCommerce solution that allows you to communicate with your customers on todays devices, yet will adapt to the devices of the future. This paper proposes such an architecture, one that is built using eXtensible Markup Language (XML) technologies to provide an infrastructure that will protect your investment and ensure extensibility moving forward. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/2578.html This is a comprehensive 101-page reference source for all of the elements and functions that compose the eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) language version 1.0. This Quick Reference features real working code examples which were tested using the Microsoft XML parser version 3.0. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/2565.html This is a 180 page quick reference source that defines and explains all of the tags, events, and associated attributes that compose XHTML (eXtensible Hyper Text Markup Language, version 1.0). This also includes useful, realistic working examples of code for each tag. There are also write-ups, with code examples, for the 17 events and another 7 attributes that are commonly available to many tags. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/2192.html Version and source control for schemas and schema objects is badly needed by us all, especially in complex, multi-enterprise development situations. This paper describes how to support true versioning of schemas and fine-grained schema objects. An important conclusion is that schema evolution and schema development are essentially synonymous, in that the applicable techniques and requisite technology are the same for both. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/2190.html In this presentation, the speaker will look at new publishing tools and standards that are enabling truly personalized content on demand in the print world. He will examine the roles of XSLFO and SVG within publishing workflows, and how XML as a neutral format for creating Web, print, and wireless content can be formatted and presented as a PDF document. The session describes the new place of XML and Web standards in publishing for printable representation of dynamic text and graphics. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/2059.html Essential XML Quick Reference is for anyone working with today's mainstream XML technologies. It was specifically designed to serve as a handy but thorough quick reference that answers the most common XML-related technical questions.It goes beyond the traditional pocket reference design by providing complete coverage of each topic along with plenty of meaningful examples. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/1372.html This paper will cover the following topics: HTML vs. XHTML; XHTML modularization and XHTML Basic; well-formed XML documents; names and namespaces; global attributes and XLink; namespace URI and RDDL (XHTML Basic + XLink). http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/1322.html XML for Analysis is an open, web-based standard for client-server communications between OLAP systems. Since its debut in mid-2001 XML/A has been widely considered to perform poorly in comparison with proprietary, binary protocols as the overhead involved in creating XML documents at one end and then parsing them at the other end was thought to be high. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/1318.html Providing the right people with the right access to information is as important as (if not more important than) having the information in the first place. eXtensible Access Control Markup Language -- or XACML -- provides a mechanism to create policies and rules for controlling access to information. In this article, author Manish Verma continues his series on XML security issues by showing you how to incorporate XACML into your own applications. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/1254.html Binding XML to a DropDown in ASP.NET http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/1252.html Out of the box, ASP.NET is a very powerful platform for writing XML Web Services. But what happens when you need to format the XML to match an existing XML grammar? Not surprisingly, this can be accomplished using the basics of the engine as well as how the engine works with ASP.NET. In the first part of this two-part article, Justin Rudd shows you the basics of the engine as well as how the engine works with ASP.NET. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/1109.html XMLSpaces.NET implements the Linda concept as a middleware for XML documents on the .NET platform. It introduces an extended matching flexibility on nested tuples and richer data types for fields, including objects and XML documents. It is completely XML-based since data, tuples and tuplespaces are seen as trees represented as XML documents. XMLSpaces.NET is extensible in that it supports a hierarchy of matching relations on tuples and an open set of matching amongst data, documents and objects. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/1064.html In this lab, you will learn to how to create an XML Web Service and access it using either Visual C# or Visual Basic .NET http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/922.html A lot has been written, said, and discussed about the Extensible Markup Language (XML). As a result, there is a lot of confusion and chaos regarding exactly what XML means. Is it a language, document, modeling tool, e-Business application, or none of the above? What exactly does XML have to offer? Why does it matter? Furthermore, what does XML bring to the table that other languages, documents, tools, and applications have not been able to do in myriad other ways? http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/908.html This two-pages quick reference guide provides useful information for XML developers. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/894.html XML Schema is one of the most important facets of Web Services. It is the ultimate type system; however it is also really arcane to learn a figure out how to leverage. Drill into what's important for you understand in order to get the most out of specification . Learn about schema creation best practices, where to start and what tools to use. Explore the effects that schema design has on web services including versioning,serialization and validation of messages. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/841.html This snippet demonstrates the all too common functionality of adding, modifying and deleting elements in an xml document. The demo page (see below) displays the xml before and after the actions. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/840.html This sample illustrates an example of adding an attribute to an element and also demonstrates adding a child element. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/839.html This page is a simple listing of some of my favorite jokes. The data is stored in an XML file and the formatting is accomplished using nothing more than Cascading Style Sheets. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/838.html This snippet contains a collection of 5 distinct approaches to combining multiple XML Documents into a single XML document. The original article is also included as part of this snippet. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/837.html This snippet contains 9 examples of common usages of recursion: Iterating through a string of characters, Split(), TrimL(), TrimR(), Loop(), Replace(), LineFeed_To_BR, Min(), Max(). http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/836.html This example is very basic, but answers the very common question of "How do I display my XML/XSL in browsers that do not support XML. It is about as simple as it gets....Transform it server-side. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/835.html This is another simple snippet that shows how to use XSLT and CSS on the client to format your XML data. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/834.html Sticky Table Headers are a characteristic of tables that allow the HeaderRow of a table to remain stationary while the data rows are allowed to scroll. This offers a nice effect that allows tables a more "elegant" appearance. Users often ask me about this and it is nice to give this effect with minimal effort. As with just about everything related to programming, there is more than one way to skin a cat. Below are a few techniques that I am familiar with. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/833.html This sample illustrates 3 different ways that you can create an HTML Image tag from an XML element(which contains the location of the image). http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/832.html This demo shows an example of a two-tier data relationship. In these examples, I am using the xml DataBinding features in IE to represent the One To Many relationship of data in an XML file. Each of the examples allow the user to hide and show the child elements. This allows for better screen real estate and a more elegant display of the data. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/831.html This snippet demonstrates filtering, sorting and highlighting HTML tables that use xml data islands. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/830.html This snippet demonstrates how to use behaviors to Sort a table by clicking on the column header. It also uses behaviors to highlight the row when moving the mouse over it. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/828.html This application is a version of the well-known game of jeopardy that we use in our FlaDotNet.com .NET user group. The original version, created by Shervin Shakibi, accessed all of the Jeopardy Data from a SQL Server Database using DataReaders. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/779.html DTD is the grammar of an XML page. It is an acronym that stands for Document Type Definition. It contains the elements, attributes, entities, and notations used in the XML document. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/699.html This paper will identify XML and XSLT as ideal tools for separating content and presentation, and show how these technologies can be used to overcome the inherent difficulties associated with the presentation of data to devices with limited capabilities. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/696.html XML is a critical ingredient in peer-to-peer information sharing schemes, including grid computing, instant messaging, and Web services. In this article, Anne Zieger explores the cutting-edge efforts intended to create a unified P2P fabric based on adaptations of existing XML technology. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/638.html This paper addresses one of the challenges faced by the companies participating in the eCommerce revolution: architecting an eCommerce solution that allows you to communicate with your customers on today's devices, yet will adapt to the devices of the future. This paper proposes such an architecture, one that is built using eXtensible Markup Language (XML) technologies to provide an infrastructure that will protect your investment and ensure extensibility moving forward. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/599.html This tip demonstrates how to convert HTML documents to XML (or more specifically, XHTML) with a simple, open source tool, HTML Tidy. This conversion is useful for webmasters who are migrating to XML. It can also help XML converts who have to interface with legacy HTML tools. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/585.html This session will introduce you to the basics of XML. Additionally, it will provide you with an introduction to building and consuming XML Web services. http://www.advancescripts.com/detailed/127.html This paper proposes extending popular object-oriented programming languages such as C#, VB or Java with native support for XML. In our approach XML documents or document fragments become first class citizens. This means that XML values can be constructed, loaded, passed, transformed and updated in a type-safe manner.
