Searching the WWW with XML
Searching and retrieving the right information from the World-Wide Web (WWW) has always been considered of foremost importance and of considerable A.I. intensivity. Internet search technologies have been evolving over the years and will continue to do so as the WWW will continue to expand in size and increase in popularity. In a desperate attempt to restore order to the WWW after the chaos that has developed due to its heterogeneous, unstructured and uncensored nature, the eXtended Markup Language (XML) is being heralded as the successor to HTML. In this paper we investigate the evolution of Internet search technologies and present a possible and viable solution in a functional system we developed and which makes use of XML at its very core. We discuss the design issues involved as well as practical issues such as tendencies and tactics employed by some of the major players in this well-sought area
On the Use of XML in Medical Imaging Web-Based Applications
The rapid growth of digital technology in medical fields over recent years has increased the need for applications able to manage patient medical records, imaging data, and chart information. Web-based applications are implemented with the purpose to link digital databases, storage and transmission protocols, management of large volumes of data and security concepts, allowing the possibility to read, analyze, and even diagnose remotely from the medical center where the information was acquired. The objective of this paper is to analyze the use of the Extensible Markup Language (XML) language in web-based applications that aid in diagnosis or treatment of patients, considering how this protocol allows indexing and exchanging the huge amount of information associated with each medical case. The purpose of this paper is to point out the main advantages and drawbacks of the XML technology in order to provide key ideas for future web-based applicationsPeer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
Realization of Semantic Atom Blog
Web blog is used as a collaborative platform to publish and share
information. The information accumulated in the blog intrinsically contains the
knowledge. The knowledge shared by the community of people has intangible value
proposition. The blog is viewed as a multimedia information resource available
on the Internet. In a blog, information in the form of text, image, audio and
video builds up exponentially. The multimedia information contained in an Atom
blog does not have the capability, which is required by the software processes
so that Atom blog content can be accessed, processed and reused over the
Internet. This shortcoming is addressed by exploring OWL knowledge modeling,
semantic annotation and semantic categorization techniques in an Atom blog
sphere. By adopting these techniques, futuristic Atom blogs can be created and
deployed over the Internet
XML Security in Certificate Management - XML Certificator
The trend of rapid growing use of XML format in data/document management system reveals that security measures should be urgently considered into next generation's data/document systems. This paper presents a new certificate management system developed on the basis of XML security mechanisms. The system is supported by the theories of XML security as well as Object oriented technology and database. Finally it has been successfully implemented in using C&#, SQL, XML signature and XML encryption. An implementation metrics is evidently presented
A Multi-channel Application Framework for Customer Care Service Using Best-First Search Technique
It has become imperative to find a solution to the dissatisfaction in response by mobile
service providers when interacting with their customer care centres. Problems faced with
Human to Human Interaction (H2H) between customer care centres and their customers
include delayed response time, inconsistent solutions to questions or enquires and lack of
dedicated access channels for interaction with customer care centres in some cases.
This paper presents a framework and development techniques for a multi-channel
application providing Human to System (H2S) interaction for customer care centre of a
mobile telecommunication provider. The proposed solution is called Interactive Customer
Service Agent (ICSA). Based on single-authoring, it will provide three media of interaction
with the customer care centre of a mobile telecommunication operator: voice, phone and
web browsing. A mathematical search technique called Best-First Search to generate
accurate results in a search environmen
Libraries and Information Systems Need XML/RDF... but Do They Know It?
This article presents an approach to the uses of XML (eXtensible Markup Language) and Semantic Web technologies in
the field of information services, focusing mainly on the creation and management of digital libraries compared to traditional
libraries, while paying special attention to the concept and application of metadata, and RDF based integration
