2. |  White Paper: Using XML and Databases: W3C Standards in Practice By: Bill Senior Analyst Trippe; Dale Contributing Analyst Waldt Publisher: Gilbane Group, Inc. Publication Date: 01-FEB-2008 Insert Date: 11-OCT-2008 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: White Paper: Using XML and Databases: W3C Standards in Practice XML presents a number of interesting challenges and opportunities
for data storage. Relational databases and full-text search
mechanisms that have been the backbone of many applications are not
designed to manage XML content effectively. A new class of
databases has emerged that is designed specifically to manage XML
content. Typically called “XML Native Databases” or
just “XML databases,” they incorporate functionality
that greatly improves the management, searching, and manipulation
of XML to produce the most effective XML data management solution.
XML presents a number of interesting...

software companies, creates tens of thousands of pages of product
documentation and help for its users every year. Because Autodesk
operates internationally with users in more than 106 countries, its
software and the associated content needs to be localized into as
many as 18 languages. Such localization has proven to be a
time-consuming, highly manual, and costly process, yet it grows in
importance each year as the company and its global user base
continue to grow. The documentation and localization teams at
Autodesk have long been...

8. |  By: Gilbane Publisher: Gilbane Group, Inc. Publication Date: 01-FEB-2005 Insert Date: 10-OCT-2008 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | You might have noticed how frequently knowledge management (KM)
pops up as a topic in surprisingly diverse contexts. Knowledge work
has been acknowledged for over three decades since Peter Drucker
emphasized it in Management: Task, Responsibilities, Practices. The
phrase knowledge management emerged in business circles in the
1980s, usually used by information technology managers. Perhaps

manipulate data creating new versions of information, a misleading
idea came into existence, namely that the resulting information...

taxonomy, reasons for building them, and most important, methods
for deploying taxonomies once you build them. As in any hot new
area of business, once you start cribbing terminology from other
disciplines, new meanings for terms evolve and present problems for
those trying to understand how an old term, with its original
definition, fits the new application. In order to sort out some of
these confounding ideas, some context for the subject sets out the
scope of taxonomy in the enterprise content management field....
