"XML Data Formats Take Center Stage in the Financial Services Industry." By Uche Ogbuji. From XMLHack.com (January 05, 2004). The Third Annual XML for Financial Services conference, held in New York City, USA, casts doubt on the conventional wisdom about Web services and the role of tightly-coupled middleware in real-world XML developments. This conference is dominated by technical managers from the Financial Services industry. http://www.xmlhack.com/read.php?item=2148 http://xml.coverpages.org/xmlPapers200401.html#OgbujiFinance
"IBM Patents Developer Payment Method." By Darryl K. Taft. In eWEEK (January 27, 2004). In a nod to the open-source development model, IBM has patented a scheme that maps out a method of payment for broad numbers of developers working together on projects, a move that has upset some developers. http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,4149,1462778,00.asp http://xml.coverpages.org/xmlPapers200401.html#TaftIBM
"OWL Web Ontology Language: Parsing OWL in RDF/XML." By Sean Bechhofer (University of Manchester). W3C Working Group Note. 21-January-2004.

From IBM developerWorks. January 22, 2004. This article shows how to use XInclude to incorporate external schema fragments into a WSDL file. XInclude is simple and is supported by many XML tools. It is a handy tool for many situations, and can certainly help improve the maintenance of document/literal style WSDL documents. http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-tipxinc.html http://xml.coverpages.org/xmlPapers200401.html#XInclude
"A Standards-Based Registry/Repository Using UK MOD Requirements as a Basis." By Paul Spencer (with OASIS TC Members). Version 0.3 (draft). January 22, 2004. 13 pages. This paper is the result of a joint study by Paul Spencer and three OASIS Technical Committees -- the ebXML Registry TC (regrep), the Content Assembly Mechanism (CAM) TC and the e-Government TC. It considers whether and how the standards being developed by the regrep and CAM TCs can help meet the needs of the MOD, and wider Government needs, for managing schema components. http://boynings.co.uk/mod/regrep-currentdraft.pdf http://xml.coverpages.org/xmlPapers200401.html#Spencer
"Lightweight XML Search Servers." By Jon Udell. In XML.com (January 21, 2004). The author demonstrated a browser-based technique for searching XHTML/CSS content using XPath. I've been using a variation of this technique on my weblog. In the spirit of this lightweight browser-based solution, he creates an equally lightweight server-based version based on Python and libxml2/libxslt. http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/01/21/udell.html http://xml.coverpages.org/xmlPapers200401.html#UdellServers
"Web Services Make Enterprise Strides." By Peter Coffee. In eWEEK (January 19, 2004).

"Learn XForms Today: XForms Institute." By Micah Dubinko. In O'Reilly ONLamp.com (January 18, 2004). Readers have asked for a gentler tutorial to W3C XForms, and others have asked to see some examples of 'real-world' XForms. The new XForms Institute (Interactive XForms School) web site provides both, with progressive lessons and interactive quizzes, written without script in XForms. http://www.onlamp.com/pub/wlg/4214 http://xml.coverpages.org/xmlPapers200401.html#DubinkoXFI
"RSS for President." By Steve Gillmor. In eWEEK (January 20, 2004). The Net has enormously accelerated the conversation that the aggregated campaigns have joined.

"Software Patents 'Threaten Linux'." By Clark Boyd and Bruce Perens. In BBC News, UK Edition (January 23, 2004). Open source advocate Bruce Perens tells BBC technology correspondent Clark Boyd why the real threat to Linux and the open source movement is not from the SCO lawsuits, but from software patents. Perens: "We're looking at a future where only the very largest companies will be able to implement software, and it will technically be illegal for other people to do so." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3422853.stm http://xml.coverpages.org/xmlPapers200401.html#PerensSCO
"Next-Generation E-Forms." By Jon Udell. In InfoWorld (January 23, 2004). E-forms provide a more accurate, intuitive replacement for paper forms than plain HTML forms or antiseptic data entry screens. Common to all the vendors' approaches is the use of XML as the bridge between applications that gather data from end-users and the back- office systems that absorb that data. http://www.infoworld.com/article/04/01/23/04FEforms_1.html http://xml.coverpages.org/xmlPapers200401.html#UdellEForms
"SAML Tops Federation Projects Survey." By Dave Kearns. In Network World (January 09, 2004). Ping Identity, sponsor of the SourceID Web site, recently surveyed folks who downloaded its open-source Liberty Alliance tool kit. SAML is the transport mechanism for the Liberty Alliance proposals, and one of the allowed transports for WS- Federation, but it appears that a number of projects are working directly with SAML and by-passing the 'higher' layers of the two competing standards. http://www.nwfusion.com/newsletters/dir/2004/0119id1.html http://xml.coverpages.org/xmlPapers200401.html#KearnsSAML

[Apropos of Localization:] "GDP by Language." By Mark Davis (President, The Unicode Consortium; IBM Corporation). Unicode Technical Note #13, Version 1 (first public version). 2003-01-22. While English is a major language, it only accounts for around 30% of the world Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and is likely to account for less in the future. Neglecting other languages means ignoring quite significant potential markets. http://www.unicode.org/notes/tn13/tn13-1.html http://xml.coverpages.org/xmlPapers200401.html#DavisGDP
"Microsoft Seeks XML-Related Patents." By David Becker. From CNET News.com (January 23, 2004) Microsoft applies for patents that could prevent competing applications from reading documents created with the latest version of Office. XML capabilities have been one of the main selling points for Office 2003. The patents could create a barrier for competing software, such as future versions of OpenOffice and StarOffice, from working with Microsoft's XML format. http://news.com.com/2100-1013-5146581.html http://xml.coverpages.org/xmlPapers200401.html#beckerEUPatent

"Microsoft Justifies Its XML Patent Moves." By Mary Jo Foley. From Microsoft Watch (January 23, 2004). Microsoft's Not-So-Secret Plot to Overthrow XML? Microsoft is seeking to patent XML interoperability technology around Word. The company claims it isn't seeking to derail XML. And it denies that its patent moves contradict its decision last fall to open up its XML schemas for Word, Excel and InfoPath. Is Microsoft within its rights to seek protection for technology that rides above the XML standard? Or is this just another example of Microsoft seeking to monkey with standards? http://www.microsoft-watch.com/article2/0,4248,1458631,00.asp http://xml.coverpages.org/xmlPapers200401.html#FoleyMSPatents

"WS-Resource Framework:Globus Alliance Perspectives." By Ian Foster (Argonne National Laboratory / University of Chicago / Globus Alliance). Presentation January 20, 2004 at GlobusWORLD 2004. See especially slide #9, "From OGSI to WSRF:Refactoring and Evolution." "... Despite enthusiasm for OGSI [Open Grid Services Infrastructure (OGSI) Version 1.0], adoption within Web community turned out to be problematic. The solution: WSRF partitions OGSI version 1.0 functionality into a family of composable specifications, tones down the usage of XML Schema, and makes an explicit distinction between the 'service' and the stateful 'resources' acted upon by that service. http://xml.coverpages.org/FosterWSRF200401.pdf http://xml.coverpages.org/xmlPapers200401.html#FosterWSRF
"Grid and Web Services to Converge." By Peter Abrahams (Bloor Research). In IT-Analysis (January 23, 2004).

The two are the WS-Resource Framework and the WS-Notification. http://www.it-analysis.com/article.php?articleid=11602 http://xml.coverpages.org/xmlPapers200401.html#AbrahamsWSRF
"HP, IBM and Akamai Bring Web Services to Grid Computing." By Jay Lyman. From TechNewsWorld (January 21, 2004). In an effort to pair and propel two emerging technologies, IBM, HP, Akamai, and other tech companies have proposed new specifications to integrate grid computing with Web services. Rob Batchelder, industry analyst and president of IT consultancy Relevance, said the joining makes perfect sense. http://www.technewsworld.com/perl/story/32652.html http://xml.coverpages.org/xmlPapers200401.html#Lyman
