let's move!
At this moment, I hope that you have believed that XML is the best way to move and operate structured data. If you haven't used XML yet, what should you start? Here are some suggestions:
Make sure you want to convert what data is converted into XML. Usually this is data that needs to be moved from one system to another, or must be converted into different formats. Learn if there is an existing XML standard. If you are studying very common data, such as procurement orders, medical records, or stock quotes, it is likely that someone has defined the XML standard for those data. Understand whether your existing tool supports XML. If you are using the latest version of a database package, a spreadsheet, or other data management tool, your existing tool (or its upgrade version) is likely to use XML as an input or output format. Learn how to build an XML-based application. You need to understand how your data is stored now, how to convert it, and how to integrate your XML development work with existing applications. Benoît Marchal's Working XML column is a great place to start; you can find the latest list of all these column articles at http://www 106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-wxxmcol/. Add appropriate standards. Consider adding organizations such as the World Wide Web Association (W3C), as well as the industry-specific organization like hr-ml.org. Members of these organizations will help you track events in the industry, and make you have the opportunity to shape the future of XML standards. Avoid the tricks of proprietary products. It is important to use only standard technologies in development work; resisting you to the temptation of so-called improved suppliers. One of the advantages of XML is that you have complete control over data. Once it is limited by a proprietary data format, you lose great control. Contact the JStart team.

Our XML zone has thousands of pages involving a variety of XML themes, including DTD and mode development, XML programming, and creation of XSLT style sheets.
