Recordset Publication
This project expands, integrates, and better documents
our tools for publishing a subscriber's Recordsets.
Subscribers will select and use only the portions they
require, at a fraction of the cost of custom internal
designs. To them, we will offer a complete, integrated
publication service with these benefits:
Importing your Recordsets
You may post data values from your PC or web site
as described in importing,
picking whichever available tool(s) would be easiest
for you. We centrally log your posted data values
as received; compare them to the last versions you
exposed; and remember time, source, and data
differences.
Exporting your Data
Once we capture your data, your booth can export the
latest
data values to customers or partners whenever they
ask,
in the format(s) you choose to support - HTML, RDF,
CSV,
XML (or any transformation) - via
HTTP
or SOAP.
Promoting your Data
Your booth also offers options to can help current or
potential customers or partners locate your data by
using
HTML, UDDI,
and/or
RDF) registries. They are
international
in scale, so designs for the support of languages other
than
English are considered key parts of this project.
Most effort and value for this project surrounds the
options
below. Bundled neatly, they appear more elegant,
because the
change-based model for data publishing also offers a
framework
useful for integrating the other options above:
Exporting Changes to your Data
After the first export, dumping only
newly changed data
lets you cut needed time, memory, and bandwidth for
each data migration.
You also enable for you and you clients several
advanced data-flow analysis
tools sensitive to the timing and sources of data
changes.
Downloading a Java Web Client
If you'd like to migrate data changes regularly to a
remote
client anywhere, we can supply a Java application
download
to be run as required on the client machine. It
optionally
transforms value changes to local formats, maintains
latest
values locally; watches out for exceptional data-change
conditions you specify, and notifies you by email
(etc.)
if they occur.
Creating an Ongoing Data-Synch Service
If N members of VTS (or any sites with the above
downloads),
periodically swap changes to a shared Recordset, then
(barring rare, exceptional conditions,) all copies stay
in synch, by periodically forwarding, transforming and
comparing mutations made since the last such
interaction.
Analysis and Design of Data-Publishing Needs
This is a team effort: VTS members: come here
for
plans on publishing your Recordset(s). Data
Analysts:
can use our tools and tags without programming.
Tagset Suppliers: Must work in a Customer
Service mode to
support the Data Analysts, who work for the member as
employee
or as a VTS supplier of contract services.
