Emerging XML technologies are available in the following categories on alphaWorks: * Database - XML opens the door to a new generation of databases: object databases that can manage heterogeneous, non-tabular information. Relational databases manage a subset of XML, but XML is more general. * DTDs - The XML Document Type Definition (DTD) defines the constraints on a specific class of XML documents. It is used by the XML parser to validate and interpret individual XML documents. * Editors - XML is optimized for creating, editing, and viewing

Description XLink defines how to insert links in XML documents. It specifies a framework making it possible for XML applications to recognize XML elements as having link semantics. In addition to the simple, two-ended, unidirectional links which are well-known from HTML, XLink allows more general links, which must not be embedded in the document, can have any number of ends, and can be multidirectional. XLink is the XML Linking Language. It allows elements to be inserted into XML documents in order to create and describe links between

MICROSOFT, VERISIGN, AND webMethods on Wednesday introduced a security specification that works to simplify the integration of PKI (public key infrastructure) and digital certificates with XML applications. The three companies have released the specification, dubbed XKMS (XML Key Management Specification), and will submit it to the appropriate Web standards bodies for consideration as an open Internet standard, the companies said in a statement. Without XKMS, applications are required to understand the guts of the PKI architecture, which works

Introduction : The XML Linking Language [XLink] defines Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 [XML] constructs to describe links between resources. One of the stated requirements on XLink is to support HTML [HTML40] linking constructs in a generic way. The HTML BASE element is one such construct which the XLink Working Group has considered. BASE allows authors to explicitly specify a document's base URI for the purpose of resolving relative URIs in links to external images, applets, form-processing programs, style sheets, and so on.

In the previous column of this series, we discussed the usage model of Web Services Security (WSS) and introduced WSS4J, a Java-based API for WSS, a project we will be constructing through this series. In this column, we start implementing the WSS4J API. The first section of this column discusses the role of different Java components in implementing the WSS4J API. One of the components is XML Security Suite for Java from IBM alphaWorks. The second section will provide a comprehensive tutorial demonstrating how to accomplish XML encryption using the

Summary: The W3C XML Key Management Working Group has released a Proposed Recommendation for the XKMS specification version 2.0, including XML Key Management Specification (XKMS 2.0) and XML Key Management Specification (XKMS 2.0) Bindings. The Working Group invites review and public comment on the PR through June 03, 2005. Operating within the W3C Technology and Society Domain, the XML Key Management (XKMS) Activity "specifies protocols for distributing and registering public keys, suitable for use with the standard for XML Signatures defined by

W3C Working Draft: Abstract This document lists the design principles, scope and requirements for XML Key Management specifications and trust server key management implementations. It includes requirements as they relate to the key management syntax, processing, security and coordination with other standards activities. The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119. Status of this Document This is an

This document specifies XML syntax and processing rules for creating and representing digital signatures. XML Signatures can be appliedto any digital content (data object), including XML. An XML Signature may be applied to the content of one or more resources.Enveloped or enveloping signatures are over data within the same XML document as the signature; detached signatures are over data external to the signature element. More specifically, this specification defines an XML signature element type and an XML signature application; conformance requirements
