>"Delivering on the Promise of XML"
>Eve Maler, Sun Microsystems
>There are no merely hypothetical XML languages left. Think of any
>technical community or industry association, and if it hasn't already
>published an XML vocabulary for doing some task or other, it's probably
>hard at work developing one.
>
>Did the creators of XML foresee this? Yes. Did they know the havoc XML
>would create when it comes to negotiating XML formats and protocols and
>getting it all to work seamlessly? Well, yes, but the picture isn't as
>bleak as it might seem. We can draw lessons from the experience of XML
>standards efforts that place a high priority on both interoperability and
>extensibility.
>
>In this talk I will introduce the Universal Business Language (UBL) and
>the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), both from OASIS, and
>discuss their XML design features that maximize the sharing of semantics
>and processing even when the core vocabularies are customized. We'll
>review various ways to build in extensibility of structure, content, and
>protocol, and along the way we'll discuss the environments in which these
>design decisions were hammered out.
