Ipedos Approach XML-Driven EII

• Handles relational data, documents and messages
• Applies virtualization layer to make all data
  queryable
• Makes applications format and schema independent
• Supports post-integration processing and analysis
• Fits with existing developer tools and skills
• Provides flexible output into multiple
  presentation formats

XML Management Capabilities

• Automatic Schema and Flexible Business-rule
  Validation on XML Import and Update
• Queries Using XQuery and User-Defined Indexes
• Indexes are data-type aware, not just text
• XML in any international charset
• Targeted full-text indexing
• Granular (Node-Level) Updates
• One operation covers many XML documents
• Nodes updated without retrieving entire document
• Full Transaction Support
• Easy Retrieval of XML Documents by File Name
• XML Document Preservation
• Tag order preserved
• Comments preserved
• White space preserved
• Schema-less Storage Indexing of XML Documents
• XML Document Versioning

13
Ipedo XQuery Implementation

• Conformance with latest W3C XQuery1.0 draft (Nov
  2003)
• Industrial-strength XQuery engine in production
  for more than 18 months
• Active Member of XQJ Expert Group (JSR 225 Java
  API for XQuery)
• Strong support for XML namespaces
• Support for full text search
• XQuery for information integration
• XQuery Modules defined using Java or XQuery
  functions
• Extensive XPath/XQuery function library
• Highly optimized Query engine
• Extends XQuery to support update operations

14
XML Schema Management

• Use DTDs and W3C XML Schemas to specify types for
  data values
• Register and manage Schemas in Ipedos Schema
  Manager
• Manage change (schema migrations, evolution)
  using the Schema Manager Framework

15
Indexing Functionality

• Indexing based on XPath
• Element index, e.g.
• //text elements in SVG or AutoCADs designXML
• /AdvanceShipmentNotice/ASNHeader/ASNParty/OrderPar
  ty/SellerParty/Party/NameAddress/Name1 in
  CommerceOnes XCBL (sellers party name)
• Attribute index, e.g.
• //newsitem/_at_id attributes in NewsML
• //item/_at_period date attributes in XBRL
• /po/item/_at_price float attributes in a custom
  purchase order
• Path index
• Indexes are aware of data types, not just text.
  Supported XML Schema data types include
  xsdstring, xsdinteger, xsdfloat, xsddate.
• Internationalization Support
• Tested with XML in GB2312 (Simplied Chinese),
  Big5 (Traditional Chinese), Kanji, Korean,
  German, French, Italian, etc.

16
Developer Friendly
