Home:Learn XQuery:White Papers:Case for XQuery:Simplify SOA Data Services XQuery Will Simplify SOA Data ServicesA key value proposition of SOA is the idea of creating loosely coupled, composite applications to bridge existing information systems and brand-new applications. Adherence to SOA principles also often requires the ability to aggregate and transform legacy, relational, and XML data sources to expose new federated views of data – usually as XML – that can be consumed by higher-level applications. To this end, XQuery may well emerge as a preferred method for building data-level SOA data services. Developers building these data services will find that XQuery greatly simplifies data aggregation and transformation logic. This task will also require the ability to abstract relational and XML data sources to ease integration challenges. XQuery, fortunately, provides the foundation for vendors to deliver tools and components that do just this. |
