EPAL http://www.zurich.ibm.com/security/enterprise-privacy/epal/Specification/index.html EPAL is a formal language for writing enterprise privacy policies to govern data handling practices in IT systems according to fine-grained positive and negative authorization rights. It concentrates on the core privacy authorization while abstracting data models and user-authentication from all deployment details such as data model or user-authentication. MNS http://www.thaiopensource.com/relaxng/mns.html The XML Namespaces Recommendation allows an XML document to be composed of elements and attributes from multiple independent namespaces. Each of these namespaces may have its own schema. The problem then arises of how the schemas can be composed in order to allow validation of the complete document. MNS is a language, which is an evolution of the ideas in RELAX Namespace and DSDL Part 4. RELAX Namespace was designed to work well with RELAX Core. RELAX Core cannot deal with documents that use multiple namespaces, nor does it provide any namespace-based wildcards. These limitations of RELAX Core are reflected in the design of RELAX Namespace. MNS is designed to be able to take advantage of more recent schema languages, such as RELAX NG, that are not limited in this way. NRL http://www.thaiopensource.com/relaxng/nrl.html NRL allows an XML document to be composed of elements and attributes from multiple independent namespaces. Each of these namespaces may have its own schema; the schemas for different namespaces may be in different schema languages. The problem then arises of how the schemas can be composed in order to allow validation of the complete document. NRL is a solution to this problem. It is an evolution of the Modular Namespaces (MNS) language. oBIX OBIX http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200405/msg00000.html oBiX is an industry-wide initiative to define XML- and Web services-based mechanisms for building control systems. WS-Addressing WS-ADD http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/specification/ws-add/ Web Services Addressing provides transport-neutral mechanisms to address Web services and messages.

Web Services Addressing enables messaging systems to support message transmission through networks that include processing nodes such as endpoint managers, firewalls, and gateways in a transport-neutral manner. CMML http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-pfeiffer-cmml-01.txt The Continuous Media Markup Language is an XML-based markup language for time-continuous data. It is a sister document to the specification of the Annodex annotation, indexing and hyperlinking format for time-continuous data. Its tags provide for the creation of structured and unstructured annotations as well as hyperlinks and addressable named anchor points for clips of time-continuous data. As well as enabling the creation and storage of such meta data in XML files, the CMML is an authoring language for Annodex streams through its import tags. The tag names in use in CMML are similar to the ones in XHTML. XED http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-legg-xed-roadmap-02.txt The XML Enabled Directory (XED) leverages existing Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and X.500 directory technology to create a directory service that stores, manages and transmits Extensible Markup Language (XML) format data, while maintaining interoperability with LDAP clients and X.500 agents.

Documents go in and documents come out. A NXD may not actually be a standalone database at all. NXDs don't really represent a new low-level database model, and aren't intended to replace existing databases. They're simply a tool intended to assist the developer by providing robust storage and manipulation of XML documents. XMLTV http://freshmeat.net/releases/135861/ XMLTV is a set of programs to process TV (tvguide) listings and manage your TV viewing.

PASWA http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/jeffsch/paswa/paswa61.html PASWA proposes a set of concrete idioms and conventions that build on SOAP Messages with Attachments, yielding the following enhancements: (1) Alignment with the XML Infoset-based data model and the SOAP processing model - opaque data may be correctly processed by intermediaries and may be secured. (2) Backwards-compatible message syntax - every message conforming to this proposal is a legal SwA/1.0 message. (3) Alternate message syntax for SOAP processors that have no knowledge of SwA or this proposal - message content can be faithfully serialized in a form that is understandable by SOAP processors that do not comply with this specification. BAML http://www.xml.org/xml/registry_searchresults.jsp?industry=23&keyword=&update_date=7200&schema_type=0#682 BAML can be used to share information about companies or people. As a stand-alone schema, it is used to share company names, addresses, contact information, service lists and so on with stakeholders. Alternatively, it can be embedded in other schemas so that any XML document can choose to embed as much or as little detail about a company as is necessary. bindingTemplate binding template http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/uddi-spec/tcspecs.shtml#uddiv2 Each bindingTemplate structure represents an individual Web service. In contrast with the businessService and businessEntity structures, which are oriented toward auxiliary information about providers and services, a bindingTemplate provides the technical information needed by applications to bind and interact with the Web service being described. It must contain either the access point for a given service or an indirection mechanism that will lead one to the access point. businessService business service http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/uddi-spec/tcspecs.shtml#uddiv2 Each businessService structure represents a logical grouping of Web Services. At the service level, there is still no technical information provided about those services; rather, this structure allows the ability to assemble a set of services under a common rubric. Each businessService is the logical child of a single businessEntity. Each businessService contains descriptive information -- again, names, descriptions and classification information -- outlining the purpose of the individual Web services found within it. For example, a businessService structure could contain a set of Purchase Order Web services (submission, confirmation and notification) that are provided by a business. businessEntity business entity http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/uddi-spec/tcspecs.shtml#uddiv2 One top-level data structure within UDDI is the businessEntity structure, used to represent businesses and providers within UDDI. It contains descriptive information about the business or provider and about the services it offers. This would include information such as names and descriptions in multiple languages, contact information and classification information. Service descriptions and technical information are expressed within a businessEntity by contained businessService and bindingTemplate structures. tModel http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/uddi-spec/tcspecs.shtml#uddiv2 Technical Models are used in UDDI to represent unique concepts or constructs. They provide a structure that allows re-use and, thus, standardization within a software framework. The UDDI information model is based on this notion of shared specifications and uses tModels to engender this behavior. For this reason, tModels exist outside the parent-child containment relationships between the businessEntity, businessService and bindingTemplate structures.

XL provides high-level and declarative constructs for actions which are typically carried out in the implementation of a Web service; e.g., logging, error handling, retry of actions, workload management, events, etc. Issues such as performance tuning (e.g., caching, horizontal partitioning, etc.) should be carried out automatically by an implementation of the language. This way, the productivity of the programmers, the ability of evolution of the programs, and the chances to achieve good performance are substantially enhanced.
