EXI is the result of extensive work carried out by the W3C's XML Binary Characterization (XBC) and Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Working Groups. XBC was chartered to investigate the costs and benefits of an alternative form of XML, and formulate a way to objectively evaluate the potential of a substitute format for XML. Based on XBC's recommendations, EXI was chartered, first to measure, evaluate, and compare the performance of various XML technologies (using metrics developed by XBC [XBC Measurement Methodologies]), and then, if it appeared suitable,
The XML Namespaces Recommendation seems to be causing a great deal of confusion. This note attempts an alternative explanation of the mechanism described in the Recommendation which I hope will be less confusing.
In the data model implied by XML, an XML document contains a tree of elements. Each element has an element type name (sometimes called the tag name) and a set of attributes; each attribute consists of a name and a value. Applications typically make use of the element type name and attributes of an element in determining how to process the
[April 06, 2004] W3C Releases Candidate Recommendations for XML Key Management Specification (XKMS 2.0). The W3C XKMS Working Group has addressed Last Call issues relating to the April 18, 2003 XKMS Working Draft and has now approved publication of Candidate Recommendations for XML Key Management Specification (XKMS 2.0) and XML Key Management Specification (XKMS 2.0) Bindings. The XKMS Candidate Recommendation period will last for at least six months in order for the WG to collect implementation feedback and evaluate implementation experience.
Abstract:
XML is a global standard for the Internet and e-business, and its use is growing in proportion to the spreading speed of e-commerce. Thus, a policy for providing a safer security service for exchanging e-documents within e-commerce is necessary. XKMS (XML key management specification), one of XML's security specifications, defines the protocol for distributing and registering public keys for verifying digital signatures and enciphering e-documents of e-commerce applications with various and complicated functions. This paper presents an
This specification defines the XML Pointer Language (XPointer), the language to be used as the basis for a fragment identifier for any URI reference that locates a resource whose Internet media type is one of text/xml, application/xml, text/xml-external-parsed-entity, or application/xml-external-parsed-entity [IETF RFC 2376]. This specification does not constrain the syntax or semantics of URI references to resources of other media types, although it provides extension facilities that may be used with other types.
XPointer supports addressing into
