Creating Data Services Mashups for SOA & Web 2.0

Kirstan Vandersluis (XAware, Inc.)
10:45am Wednesday, 07/23/2008
Products & Services
 Location: E142

Mixing and mashing multiple data sources, all of different formats, into something that makes sense is a headache for many software architects. Data services mashups – the pulling of data from multiple sources into a logical unit – would be easy if enterprise information came in well-formatted XML. But that’s not reality.

In this session, Kirstan will show architects how to create data services mashups by taking data from multiple locations, conforming to an XML schema and exposing that as a service. He will explain the techniques and tools available to architects to enable them to achieve ultimate control over their SOA and Web 2.0 environments.
