An in-depth look at making XML work with database applications Open Source XML Database Toolkit This guide will arm you with the nuts-and-bolts information and tools you'll need to exploit XML's powerful capabilities. Focusing specifically on how XML works with database technologies-including relational and object-oriented databases-the book provides clear technical coverage of the key issues involved with storing XML in databases and using databases with XML applications. Expert Liam Quin first introduces you to the main concepts of XML and then reveals how to work with this technology. He offers helpful tips and techniques to show you how to move data stored in relational databases in and out of an XML application. You'll also learn how to store XML documents in a database, find and use the best XML database tools and applications, and store links in a database for metadata access. You'll also gain a better understanding of W3C specifications for XQL, XSL, Xlink, and Xpointer. Programmers, Web developers, and technical managers who need to extract database contents as XML or store XML in a database will find this book to be an invaluable resource. This book concentrates on techniques rather than specific tools, but mentions a wide range of software, both commercial and open source, including: * FreeBSD, Solaris, and Linux * MySQL * XT and other XML processors * Apache * Oracle * SoftQuad XMetal and other XML editing software * Object Design's ObjectStore The companion Web site at www.wiley.com/compbooks/quin features: * Additional resources * Utilities * Examples from the book * Updated information

Continuing a tradition of excellent training on open source tools, Penetration Tester's Open Source Toolkit, Fourth Edition is a great reference to the open source tools available today and teaches you how to use them by demonstrating them in real-world examples. This book expands upon existing documentation so that a professional can get the most accurate and in-depth test results possible. Real-life scenarios are a major focus so that the reader knows which tool to use and how to use it for a variety of situations. This updated edition covers the latest technologies and attack vectors, including industry specific case studies and complete laboratory setup. Great commercial penetration testing tools can be very expensive and sometimes hard to use or of questionable accuracy. This book helps solve both of these problems. The open source, no-cost penetration testing tools presented work as well or better than commercial tools and can be modified by the user for each situation if needed. Many tools, even ones that cost thousands of dollars, do not come with any type of instruction on how and in which situations the penetration tester can best use them. Penetration Tester's Open Source Toolkil, Fourth Edition bridges this gap providing the critical information that you need. - Details current open source penetration tools - Presents core technologies for each type of testing and the best tools for the job - New to this edition: expanded wireless pen testing coverage to include Bluetooth, coverage of cloud computing and virtualization, new tools, and the latest updates to tools, operating systems, and techniques - Includes detailed laboratory environment setup, new real-world examples, and industry-specific case studies

One of the only books on this subject to focus on XML's value as a business tool rather than the technology. This book deals with important management issues and focuses on demonstrating XML's value as a business tool. It emphasizes processes and business logic, and will show you how to go about introducing this technology and what must be done to achieve a smooth implementation. * Offers a management driven approach to XML-based information systems architecture * Discusses important related standards such as RDF, topic maps, and XML * Schema * Describes the building blocks of an XML-based architecture * Provides a blueprint for an organizational model of the roles and responsibilities of those involved in setting up an XML-based architecture * Presents a management framework and methodology for developing XML-based information systems

Handbook of Open Source Tools introduces a comprehensive collection of advanced open source tools useful in developing software applications. The book contains information on more than 200 open-source tools which include software construction utilities for compilers, virtual-machines, database, graphics, high-performance computing, OpenGL, geometry, algebra, graph theory , GUIs and more. Special highlights for software construction utilities and application libraries are included. Each tool is covered in the context of a real like application development setting. This unique handbook presents a comprehensive discussion of advanced tools, a valuable asset used by most application developers and programmers; includes a special focus on Mathematical Open Source Software not available in most Open Source Software books, and introduces several tools (eg ACL2, CLIPS, CUDA, and COIN) which are not known outside of select groups, but are very powerful. Handbook of Open Source Tools is designed for application developers and programmers working with Open Source Tools. Advanced-level students concentrating on Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science will find this reference a valuable asset as well.

The emerging Second-Generation Web is based entirely on XML and related technologies. It is intended to result in the creation of the Semantic Web, on which computers will be able to deal with the meaning ("semantics") of Web data and hence to process them in a more effective and autono mous way. This new version of the Web introduces a multitude of novel concepts, terms, and acronyms. Purpose, Scope and Methods This dictionary is an effort to specify the terminological basis of emerging XML and Semantic Web technologies. The ultimate goal of this dictionary is even broader than just to define the meaning of newwords - itaims to develop aproper understandingofthese leading-edge technologies. To achieve this, comprehensible definitions of technical terms are supported by numerous diagrams and code snippets, clearly annotated and explained. The main areas covered in this dictionary are: (1) XML syntax and core technologies, such as Namespaces, Infoset and XML Schema; (2) all the major membersofthe XML family oftechnologies, such as XSLT, XPath and XLink; (3) numerous XML-based domain-specific languages, such as NewsML (News Markup Language); (4) the concept and architecture of the Semantic Web; (5) key Semantic Web technologies,such as RDF (Resource Description Framework), RDF Schema and OWL (Web Ontology Language); and (6) Web services, including WSDL (Web Services Description Lan guage) and SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol).

In this book, you will find discussions on the newest native XML databases, along with information on working with XML-enabled relational database systems. In addition, XML Data Management thoroughly examines benchmarks and analysis techniques for performance of XML databases. This book is best used by students that are knowledgeable in database technology and are familiar with XML.
