The event is hosted by ADVANTYS. The WfMC has assembled a live demonstration of products that have implemented the Wf-XML 2.0 web commerce protocol. Wf-XML is built upon OASIS ASAP, so it is simultaneously a demonstration of ASAP interoperability. The demonstration will show six different implementations of the new web services protocol and the exchange of data across the Internet. This will be both in front of the live audience and online with observers around the world via a webcast. Participants who have implemented the protocol include ADVANTYS, Fujitsu, HandySoft and TIBCO who will demonstrate the scenarios of Customer, Retailer and Manufacturer. "The ASAP standard gives companies real-world benefits of business process interoperability without programming," said Keith Swenson, chairman of the WfMC Wf-XML Working Group, chair of the OASIS ASAP Technical Committee and chief architect of Fujitsu Software Corporation. "An example of quick, easy connections between systems supporting long-term processes would be the process cycle of buying a home, involving all players from the mortgage lender through geology reports to title search and closing. Wf-XML 2.0 will be available to extend ASAP with functionality specifically for BPM engines." "ADVANTYS is very proud to host this WfMC Seminar in Pisa. We designed the engine of our workflow product (WorkflowGen) based on the WfMC standards and since then we kept integrating the latest protocols like XPDL or ASAP/Wf-XML and remained at the leading edge of technology for the benefit of our customers," says Alain Bezancon, CEO of ADVANTYS. "We value ADVANTYS' active support in the deployment of WfMC standards in their products. This seminar addresses the significant benefits that companies have enjoyed in optimizing business processes across organizations using different BPM engines," said Jon Pyke, WfMC chair. "The live web commerce protocol demonstration highlights the role of Wf-XML 2.0 and ASAP in enabling business process interoperability across some of the industry's most widely recognized BPM engines. The analogy we use is: when connecting telephones, you could wire the phones directly into the network, or you could provide a plug and socket that allows an ordinary user to plug the phone in. Wf-XML is that "plug 'n play process" for basic run-time connections."

The acquisition will deliver technology that further strengthen Adobe’s XML architecture, which enables businesses and governments to combine the powerful data and business logic capabilities of XML with the rich presentation and enhanced security capabilities of Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Yellow Dragon provides a commercial, off-the-shelf ebXML (Electronic Business eXtensible Markup Language) solution using an XML registry, as well as a messaging product, for reliably delivering XML messages between servers. The ebXML specification is a technical framework for using XML in a consistent manner in the exchange of electronic business data. By enabling native support for ebXML transactions within the Adobe Intelligent Document Platform and PDF, Adobe is making it faster and easier for organizations to automate their external business processes and protect their investments using open standards. Adobe plans to integrate this technology into its server products next year. “The addition of Yellow Dragon is a powerful extension to the Adobe Intelligent Document Platform,” said Ivan Koon, senior vice president at Adobe. “We believe Yellow Dragon’s technology will enable us to offer XML functionality which will be mandated by governments and businesses over the next few years. We also gain experienced engineers who are active in the XML standards arena, and who helped define the ebXML standard.” “The core team at Yellow Dragon has been involved in the XML standards effort since the beginning,” said Duane Nickull, executive vice president and co-founder of Yellow Dragon. “Joining the Adobe team will help ensure that our XML technologies enjoy broad adoption as the need for document services grows in the market. We look forward to continuing to deliver new XML technologies that will solve customers’ document problems.” Sponsored by the United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (UN/CEFACT) and the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS), ebXML is a globally developed open XML specification that provides a standard method to exchange business messages, conduct trading relationships, communicate data in common terms, and define and register business processes. The ebXML standard is being widely adopted by governments and manufacturers worldwide. Adobe believes this acquisition will not have a material financial impact on the company.http://www.content-wire.com/xml-documents-platform1051830000Content Wireadminaccounting,Active Data Exchange,assets,assets management,collaboration,collaborative content,consumers,content analysis,content infrastructure,content integration,content management,Content Management,content management applications,content management infrastructure,content management software,content management system,content management systems,content management tools,content repository,content technology,data access,data management,Data Management,definitions,diversity,effective communication,email,enterprise applications,enterprise content,enterprise content management,enterprise systems,environments,information assets,information exchange,Information Management,information retrieval,information technology,informational,infrastructure,infrastructure software,initiative,integration costs,integration software,intelligence,knowledge management,Knowledge Management,management applications,management infrastructure,management product,management technology,management tools,metadata,metadata,new data,new product,new technology,product integration,repository,schema,schemas,share information,site builder,software applications,source of information,system integration,taxonomy,taxonomy software,Technology,technology allows,technology integration,transformation,vice president,WorldMust Have: Schema ManagementSchemaLogic, leader in Enterprise Schema Management (ESM), announced today availability of SchemaServer v2, software that cuts integration costs and improves information access by enabling information managers to share the data structures and metadata terminology used by interconnected applications. SchemaServer helps large organizations connect various applications and databases by bringing together the schema, metadata categories and taxonomies that define how information is stored and retrieved. It allows organizations to discover, solve, and manage the gaps, overlaps and conflicts among schema and metadata used across an enterprise. SchemaServer is unique because it creates an application-independent, enterprise view of common terminology and data structures, with system-specific adaptors. Exchanging information within the complex mix of applications, content management systems and databases prevalent in large organizations is impossible without knowing the structure and terminology in each source. Unlike point-to-point integration tools, SchemaServer reconciles all the schema and metadata specifications used within an enterprise, creating agreed-upon definitions that can by pushed out to interconnected systems, so they work as one," said Andrei Ovchinnikov, CEO of SchemaLogic. "Reconciling various schema and metadata specifications is the first step. Keeping distributed applications in synch automatically as categories or specifications change provides a huge cost savings, while helping our clients propagate new information faster." The technology provides a collaborative approach to the transformation of application-specific schema and metadata definitions into a shared, active repository. The product supports schema and taxonomy import, owner/stakeholder assignment, impact analysis, change management and synchronization of taxonomy, thesauri and controlled vocabularies across distributed systems. The software addresses an emerging need, coordinating schemas among disparate enterprise environments. This is a difficult and an increasingly important issue," said Geoffrey Bock, Vice President of Patricia Seybold Group. "We believe it will be making a major contribution towards developing a coordinated knowledge infrastructure." While one goal of Enterprise Schema Management is sharing of collaboratively designed schema assets, SchemaServer also supports varied terminology and system-specific data structures. "Agreeing how information should be structured and categorized is a challenge for any department or agency that wants to automate the exchange of information," said Dr. Paul Prueitt, CEO of OntologyStream. "Reconciliation of different informational structures and the impact of change comprise one of the most important aspects of information production. SchemaServer v2 provides the means to increase the fidelity of intelligence by mediating the diversity of viewpoint in a world driven by information exchange. In doing so, SchemaServer v2 helps integration teams and those who utilize the new information." Using the tool, information managers define and synchronize the specifications and terminology that programmers and information consumers use to access distributed information. About Enterprise Schema Management (ESM) Schemas, which define the structure and specifications for data and metadata, can be defined and managed as an enterprise initiative, a process known as Enterprise Schema Management (ESM). ESM involves technology and processes for the reconciliation and communication of schema and metadata specifications used across the enterprise. The goal is rapid integration, effective retrieval and systematic reuse of information stored within various databases, content management systems or software applications. Before ESM, there was no efficient way to discover, solve and manage the gaps, overlaps and conflicts among schema and metadata used across an enterprise. This problem caused information silos, with substantial and recurring costs associated with integration or redundant information. Reconciliation involves consensus-building, collaboration and change-management processes to identify and resolve cross-application impacts. By unifying enterprise schema and keeping them synchronized over time, ESM facilitates an organized view of available information and how it can be accessed, which cuts integration costs and improves availability of information from disparate systems.http://www.content-wire.com/must-have-schema-management1031526000Content WireadminActive Data Exchange,Adobe,application development,Companies,content management,Content Management,content management software,content management solution,content management solutions,content syndication,content technology,data management,Data Management,digital music,digital publishing,distribution networks,enterprise content,enterprise content management,information exchange,Information Management,information technology,leading technology,management requirements,management solutions,management technology,Media,media publishing,metadata,metadata,new data,new technology,partnership,pioneer,platforms,Standards,strategic alliance,strategic partnership,strategic technology,syndication,Technology,technology alliance,technology companies,technology provider,technology solutions,w3c,workflow,XML,XML content managementXML Partnership for Content Syndication SolutionSoftware AG, a pioneer in XML solutions, and Active Data Exchange, a leading syndication solutions provider, have entered a strategic sales and technology alliance to provide a content distribution management solution across multiple enterprises.
