Oracle and XML
Tom Laszewski, Senior Principal Consultant, Oracle Corporation

The focus of the presentation is to help developers, architects, product managers and technical leads make the decision of when, what, how and where when deploying Oracle, XML, Internet, mobile and wireless based applications.

Oracle has embraced XML technologies and has incorporated these technologies into all of its products. Because XML is an emerging technology, IT personnel may have problems understanding how to incorporate XML into their new and existing Oracle based solutions. This presentation will help IT personnel understand the deep integration between Oracle and XML.

The presentation will discuss the following XML technologies: XML documents, DTDs, XML Schema, XSL, XSLT, Document Object Model (DOM) and Simple API for XML (SAX). These XML technologies will be discussed in the context of the following Oracle technologies: Oracle8i, Oracle 9i Application Server, Oracle XML Developer's Tool Kit (XDK), XML SQL Utility, Oracle Integration Server, Oracle Internet File System, interMedia, Oracle 9i Wireless Edition, Oracle Dynamic Services and JDeveloper.
