Microsoft to Sponsor Cross-Industry Interoperability Track as Part of
XML 2007 Conference
Track Will Bring Together Technology Leaders from Document, Web
and Enterprise Communities to Discuss Real-World Interoperability
Scenarios
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (Business Wire EON) November 5, 2007 --
IDEAlliance, a leading industry association advancing XML and
information technologies best practices, today announced that Microsoft
(NASDAQ: MSFT) will host an Interoperability Track as part of XML 2007.
The track will take place on Tuesday, December 4 at the Marriott Copley
Place in Boston, MA. Sessions will take place throughout the day.
Microsoft is the exclusive premiere sponsor of XML 2007 slated for
December 3-5.
The goal of the Interoperability track is to present hands-on sessions
and practical answers using XML to some of the challenges that currently
exist in building applications that cross multiple platforms such as
Java, .NET, PHP and Ruby.
“XML, since its inception, has always bridged
technical communities and helped enable real-world interoperability
scenarios across heterogeneous platforms,”
said Jean Paoli, General Manager of Interoperability & XML Architecture
at Microsoft and co-creator of the W3C XML standard. “XML
2007 is a place where we can really converge and have balanced and
pragmatic interoperability discussions based on technology, not politics.”
Participants from the industry include Miguel de Icaza from Novell,
Douglas Crockford from Yahoo!, Vijay Rajagopalan from Microsoft and
other well known technology leaders from the PHP and Ruby community.
The track will feature four sessions on Tuesday Dec 4:
-
9:00 – 10:30: Document Interop: Ecma Office
Open XML and OASIS ODF
-
11:00 – 12:30: Enterprise Interop: Identity
and XML
-
2:00 – 3:30: Web Interop: Ajax with XML and
JSON
-
4:00 – 5:30: Interop Round Table & Happy
Hour - Development Discussion on Interop and XML with industry leaders
from the 3 topic areas. Hors d’oeuvres and
drinks hosted by Microsoft.
Interoperability has long been a feature of Microsoft’s
products and technologies, achieved through product engineering with
strong support for XML, by working with customers, partners, competitors
and government, by providing access to Microsoft technologies, and
through engagement with standards-setting organizations. In its
approach, Microsoft strives to bring technologies to market in a way
that balances competitive innovation with the real interoperability
needs of customers and partners.
“Microsoft is committed to bringing XML 2007
focus – XML-in-Practice –
into action by hosting an interoperability track,”
said David J. Steinhardt, President & CEO, IDEAlliance. “IDEAlliance
is pleased to partner with Microsoft and bring this industry event to
our XML 2007 community.”
