© 2001 Microsoft 1 XML and Microsoft Standards Leadership & Toolset Innovation Focusing on the Developer

© 2001 Microsoft 2 Loosely Coupled Systems  Scalable. Many to Many.  Changes in Implementation do not break each other AppLogic Data MappingMapping Application System Data System Object(XML)  Move data in a standardized format:  XML Syntax  XML Schemata for domain standard

© 2001 Microsoft 3 Complex Data  Structured  Highly regular, homogeneous structure  Semi-Structured  Heterogeneous structure  Sparse Occurrences of data  Unstructured  Documents/Content XML unifies the representation of all three kinds of data

© 2001 Microsoft 4 Pragmatic Basis for the Architecture  Web Services are key to building loosely coupled systems  XML, XML based services and XML enabled servers are key to building Web Services  XML is data  Standards based implementations are key to interoperability  Developers need a framework and toolset to build Web Services

© 2001 Microsoft 5 Standards Leadership  W3C Activities by Domain  Architecture  Schema  XML Query  XML  DOM  XML Protocol (SOAP)  Technology & Society  XML Signature  User Interface  XSL (XPath)

© 2001 Microsoft 6 Standards Leadership (Run Ahead Frameworks)  BizTalk Framework 2.0  Business to Business communication  Reliable Delivery  Return Address  UDDI  Business to Business “yellow pages”  WSDL  Interface definition for service invocation  XLANG  Process Orchestration

© 2001 Microsoft 7 Standards Implementation  “Parsers” (MSXML + System.XML)  XML Namespaces  100% compliant with OASIS suite  DOM – level 1 and level 2 core  DTD, XDR, XSD  XSL/T 1.0 and XPath 1.0  Servers  BizTalk Server 2000  SQL Server 2000 (XML Features)  UDDI SDK  SOAP Toolkit

© 2001 Microsoft 8  Scalability, Reliability, Management  Deep XML support is foundation for.NET  Web Service Enabling  Integrate within and across organizations  Scale out across all tiers  Fastest time to market Enterprise Servers -.NET

© 2001 Microsoft 9 Building the Right Toolset  XML is engrained into the.NET Framework  System.Xml  System.Xml.Serialization  Schema Object Model (SOM)  System.Xml.XmlDataDocument  MSXML is an industry leader  XSLT Performance  DOM Load Time  IDispatch based SAX Implementation for VB besides C++ SAX

© 2001 Microsoft 11 Invoking Services  From the.NET Framework – set a reference and code { SimpleService myService = new SimpleService(); Console.Write (myService.SimpleRequest(“Fetch”)); }  From any SOAP compliant implementation  Create your own SOAP implementation
