Reap the benefits of standards when building a common model for your SOA infrastructure or enterprise. Industry standards in telecommunications, such as the Shared Information (SID) model from TM Forum, allow you to leverage the knowledge of a group of industry experts instead of starting from scratch. Listen to a podcast by John Wilmes, Chief Technical Architect, Communications Sector at Progress Software, as he explains the difference between using standards-based and proprietary-based data models, and how communication service providers can effectively deploy a common model. John will also talk briefly about how Progress DataXtend SI can help extend the model you are working with.

When we refer to "meta data" when talking about data interoperability, we are talking about data that describe or accompany other data. DataXtend SI uses metadata at design time to describe components of the exchange model. It uses metadata at runtime to configure and manage the operation of data services. An analyst can incrementally redefine and redeploy components of the metadata, such as rules, without redeploying the services themselves.

When we talk about data interoperability, many people ask, "What is an Integration Tax?" Well some technologists refer to the cost associated with bringing systems together as an integration tax. Progress Software believes that by deploping a common information model that will mediate data transfers and ensure data consistency across legacy, and new, systems, the enterprise will reduce their integration tax. Listen to a brief podcast by Ken Rugg, VP of Products for DataXtend & ObjectStore at Progress Software, to learn more.
