Interwoven Session Title: XML in Content Management

Speaker: Dr. Mark Hale, Director of Content Technologies, Interwoven, Inc.

Date and Time: Thursday, August 29, 8:00am-9:30am

Session Description: There are two sides to the XML "coin" - the data, messaging, and transaction-oriented world, and the parallel content universe. While much has been heard about data-oriented standards such as those for Web Services and B2B integration, there is an equal amount of activity in the content side.

In this session, Dr. Hale will explore how enterprise content is being encoded, managed, published, and syndicated using XML and its associated technologies. Dr. Hale will also cover the accepted content standards specifications built upon by major Web Services players attending at the conference. This topic underscores the current market shift from locked content stores to virtual repositories with integrated transformation and search. Dr. Hale will conclude his presentation with an in-depth discussion on Web Services reliability - a must for this technology to be accepted in business going forward.

Dr. Hale is internationally known for his work in content technology solutions for business and is considered to be an authority on business strategies for adopting XML. He has worked for more than a decade in the field, writes for numerous technical journals and speaks around the globe on XML and content management. Dr. Hale serves on standards bodies for W3C, OASIS, IETF, and IEEE.
