Module 06 Data Mapping and Exchange Part 1: Background

1. The document discusses data mapping and exchange between dissimilar IT systems. It provides background on XML, describing it as a flexible format for sharing structured data over the internet and corporate networks. 2. The design goals of XML are outlined, including that it be straightforward over the internet, support a wide variety of applications, and be compatible with SGML. XML documents should also be human-readable. 3. The physical parts of XML technologies are defined, including elements, attributes, declarations, and character data sections. References for additional reading on data mapping techniques and programming languages are also provided.

Module 06 Data Mapping and Exchange Part 1

Course Learning Outcomes:


1. Distinguish the role of data exchange between dissimilar IT systems.
2. Compare programming design patterns and the IT services needed to
integrate applications.

Background
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is used to describe data. The XML standard is a flexible
way to create information formats and electronically share structured data via the public Internet,
as well as via corporate networks.

XML code, a formal recommendation from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), is
similar to Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). Both XML and HTML contain markup symbols to
describe page or file contents. HTML code describes Web page content (mainly text and graphic
images) only in terms of how it is to be displayed and interacted with.

XML data is known as self-describing or self-defining, meaning that the structure of the data
is embedded with the data, thus when the data arrives there is no need to pre-build the structure to
store the data; it is dynamically understood within the XML. The XML format can be used by any
individual or group of individuals or companies that want to share information in a consistent way.
XML is actually a simpler and easier-to-use subset of the Standard Generalized Markup Language
(SGML), which is the standard to create a document structure.

Design of XML
The design goals for XML as set out in the 1.0 specification are as follows:
1. XML shall be straightforwardly usable over the Internet.
2. XML shall support a wide variety of applications.
3. XML shall be compatible with SGML.
4. It shall be easy to write programs which process XML documents.
5. The number of optional features in XML is to be kept to the absolute minimum, ideally zero.

6.  XML documents should be human-legible and reasonably clear.


7.  The XML design should be prepared quickly.
8.  The design of XML shall be formal and concise.
9.  XML documents shall be easy to create.
10. Terseness in XML markup is of minimal importance.
