Abstract
By reading this IBM Redbook, customers, IBM sales people, IT architects, and IT specialists will have the opportunity to understand how the “marriage” between XML technology and the IBM Application Framework for e-business can help to leverage e-business applications, particularly those based on business-to-business (B2B), and business-to-consumer (B2C) models.
This redbook presents the emergence and the impacts of XML in the e-business world. Topics include:
- The e-business market: what is going on, trends, and directions.
- The added value of XML technology to help to solve issues, and some challenges that arise through e-business applications such as data exchange, portal services, and pervasive device support.
- How IBM cuts XML and related technologies down to size in its application Framework for e-business, including details of the IBM offering in terms of architecture and tools to design, develop, deploy, and run complex B2B and B2C models.
