Review ZapNote: Scientio ZapNote: Mining XML Metadata / ZapThink, LLC:While XML data is fundamentally tree-based and hierarchical, most data that is currently mined is table-based and relational. Many existing data mining algorithms deal don't well with sparse data, and XML is a great example of such sparse data. Scientio has taken an approach to create data mining applications that deal well with the requirements of XML documents.

Review ZapNote: Epistemic ZapNote: Giving Real Power to Business Analysts / ZapThink, LLC:Traditional business intelligence (BI) solutions are often inflexible and incomplete, because they depend on rigidly structured data found in relational database systems (RDBMS). Such solutions often exclude nonrelational data, and force users into a "SQL query" mindset. Epistemic leverages the power of Web Services to break free from the traditional relational database/SQL query approach to business intelligence that poorly addresses non-relational data and provides intelligence of limited use. Where business analysts using these traditional tools must massage the results in Excel in order to analyze them, analysts using the Epicentric Analytics Toolkit can begin their analysis right away. Epistemic's use of Web Services provides two important lessons for other software vendors: first, Web Services can provide substantial value to vendors who do not consider themselves "Web Services vendors," and second, Web Services offer much more than simple point-to-point integration.

Review ZapNote: MISMO ZapNote: An Implementation of Mortgage Industry Standards / ZapThink, LLC:The need for standardization and simplification in the mortgage industry is clear. In order to obtain a mortgage, many complex and interrelated processes must occur. These processes frequently cross-organizational and divisional boundaries and so standards have long been a requirement for communication. One of the biggest issues in the mortgage industry is the number of interactions between collaborating parties and the complexity of these interactions. The Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Organization (MISMO) was created in 1999 under the auspices of the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) in order to facilitate the creation and maintenance of XML data interchange standards for the mortgage industry. MISMO defines actual XML element and attribute names that represent a standardized view and organization of mortgage-related data elements.

Review ZapNote: Forum Systems ZapNote: Advanced XML Network Appliance / ZapThink, LLC:Rather than requiring each application on the network to comply with the latest XML-based security specifications, compression algorithms, and business process standards, most organizations will seek to implement centralized intermediaries that will handle these tasks on behalf of the applications. Hardware XML Network Appliances can fill the role of the XML and Web Services intermediary in a credible way. Forum Systems has produced a hardware appliance that aims to fill the role as Web Services Proxy as and XML "Application Firewall" by processing XML network traffic and applying security, routing, and transformation operations to the data in a transparent manner. They see the XML Network Appliance as an increasingly important device that will become crucial to the acceptance and growth of XML use within the enterprise. Forum has correctly reasoned that security is the primary and most immediate market for these XML Network Appliances.

Review ZapNote: LogicLibrary ZapNote: Leveraging Web Services Software Assets / ZapThink, LLC:In order for enterprises to realize the promise of Web Services to make their businesses more agile and efficient, organizations need to be able to get a firm grasp of their existing computing assets that can be translated into Web Services at many different levels of granularity. Best practices for Web Services development demand an approach that begins with building a model of the capabilities needed within the context of the business, and then subsequently identifying the computing assets present in the organization that can support the modelLogicLibrary Logidex allows enterprises to capture their software components, map them to their business and technical models, and publish them to searchable online component libraries. It gives developers the ability to easily search, find and retrieve the software components that are required to fulfill their business requirements.

Review ZapNote: Autonomy ZapNote: Helping to Derive Meaning for the Web / ZapThink, LLC:While a human can identify the similarity between XML tags such as "PO", "PurchaseOrder", and "PurchOrd", an automated system would identify them as differently as "green", "car", and "jump". To address these issues of meaning, or "semantics", Autonomy has developed a set of products that aim to simplify the process of context-aware categorization and tag-set matching. While not a "Semantic Web" technology in the strict sense, it plays in that general environment.

Review ZapNote: LogML ZapNote: Representing Web Statistics and Usage Information / ZapThink, LLC:The key concept behind the idea of data mining using web server log file information is that web site users are inherently "telling" the web server where the relevant information they are seeking is located, and what important information is needed so web masters can appropriately position the information for maximum efficiency. Rather than simply crawling through every page on a website, not always an efficient mechanism for obtaining this information, LOGML can be used as an XML repository for actual usage patterns.

Review ZapNote: Corel ZapNote: Advancing XML Content Creation / ZapThink, LLC:In 2001, Corel began an aggressive campaign to add XML to their advanced publishing products line. They realized that XML could take content development and management to a new level. XML lets users create content that they can categorize, search, re-use, and format automatically. No one understood the power of XML better than SoftQuad, which Corel acquired in 2001. SoftQuad had long played an instrumental role in the development of document-centric technologies. Corel recently shared with ZapThink its strategy for tying together its SoftQuad, Ventura Publisher, and other product lines into a cohesive mix applicable for content developers and publishers alike. The results offer a compelling set of solutions for the corporate enterprise looking to adopt XML as a component of its content development and delivery.

Review ZapNote: B-Bop ZapNote: Leveraging Relational Databases for XML Storage / ZapThink, LLC:The only true solutions for enterprise-wide XML data storage and retrieval are XML-enabled RDBMS and Native XML Data Store (NXD) approaches. The challenge with XML-enabled RDBMS is that they are not very well suited to highly extensible and flexible documents, while the challenge with NXDs is that they are unproven technologies with very small user bases. However, there is another option that is a sort of "middle ground": the use of an interpretive middle layer over standard RDBMS systems that offers schema-independent, "native" XML data storage. In this vein, B-Bop offers their Xfinity Server as a way of providing the features of Native XML storage while utilizing existing relational storage architectures.

Review ZapNote: Epigraph ZapNote: Managing Ontologies and XML Data / ZapThink, LLC:The theory of the Semantic Web is that systems can interact autonomously by sharing a language as well as a logical framework for making decisions. Powered by XML and RDF, the Semantic Web offers a mechanism for informing systems of the context or intent of the information described. A core element of any Semantic Web system is the maintenance of a storage repository for ontologies and instance documents. Many Semantic Web systems thus become, in effect, Content Management system, enabling the management of vast amounts of XML data and providing mechanisms for users to edit and maintain ontologies. Epigraph's flagship product, Xcellerant, provides a visual and architectural management tool for housing all of the discrete components necessary for instituting a functional Semantic Web system, including workflow, version control, check- in/check-out, XML schema validation, ability to call elements via Web Services, user management and control, visual representation of data elements, and abstraction of the file management interface.
