The SchemaAgent server can connect users to all of the XML Schemas This is a list of XML schemas in use on the Internet sorted by purpose. XML schemas can be used to create XML documents for a wide range of purposes such as syndication, general exchange, and storage of data in a standard format. Bookmarks
--Simplified Data Integration - Altova MapForce 2005 enables Oracle database users to easily integrate their data with XML, flat file, and EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) The electronic communication of business transactions, such as orders, confirmations and invoices, between organizations. Third parties provide EDI services that enable organizations with different equipment to connect. data through its intuitive visual data mapping Data mapping is the process of creating data element mappings between two distinct data models. Data mapping is used as a first step for a wide variety of data integration tasks including:
--Accelerated Stylesheet Design - Altova StyleVision 2005 features a unique visual design interface for creating stylesheets that can transform XML and data from Oracle databases into HTML HTML in full HyperText Markup Language Markup language derived from SGML that is used to prepare hypertext documents.

With these new specifications, developers can now write less complex and convoluted convoluted /con·vo·lut·ed/ (kon?vo-lldbomact´ed) rolled together or coiled. code, thereby reducing errors and increasing productivity. Furthermore, increased programming functionality and strong data typing enable greater data processing capabilities and contribute significantly to improved code quality and reusability.
