Source: developerWorks : XML : Technical library Today, there is a great deal of interest in energy, and its less-desirable environmental shadow, carbon dioxide. To create a more sustainable world, individuals, companies, and governments are focusing attention on energy and how we use it. The route to understanding our usage of energy (and therefore carbon) is to measure and analyze it, to understand the results, and then act on that information. AMEE is a neutral aggregation platform for all forms of energy and activity data, and associated carbon models. In this article, you learn how to use the AMEE platform in your applications to deliver a high quality energy management and carbon calculation solution to your clients.

Discover how to leverage the power of cloud analytics using Zoho Reports, the Zoho API, and XML to add analytical capabilities to any application -- either in the cloud or local.
Source: developerWorks : XML : Technical library Twitter is undoubtedly one of the most recent and successful examples of social networking to appear on the World Wide Web. Twitter also has its own search engine, which enables users to search for "tweets" by keyword or category, with an API to facilitate programmatic searches, act as a REST service, and return searches in Atom format. Discover the basics of using the Twitter Search API.
Source: developerWorks : XML : Technical library Atom is an Extensible Markup Language (XML) specification that identifies information contained in a Web site. Using Atom, Web developers produce feeds that enable other Web developers (or consumers who use feed readers) to quickly locate and view information of interest on a remote site. Think of it as a Web site's index, available to anyone who wants it. Using PHP, a popular language of choice for most host providers, a Web developer can easily produce an Atom feed that can then be made available to the various feed readers and other Web developers. The ultimate result is a state-of-the-art information solution that enables the Web content to reach a much wider audience.
Source: developerWorks : XML : Technical library Mashups are an exciting genre of interactive Web applications that draw upon content retrieved from external data sources to create entirely new and innovative services. They are a hallmark of the second generation of Web applications informally known as Web 2.0. This introductory article explores what it means to be a mashup, the different classes of popular mashups constructed today, and the enabling technologies that mashup developers leverage to create their applications. Additionally, you'll see many of the emerging technical and social challenges that mashup developers face.

Or, are you new to JBoss 5 but you want to get a feel for the EJB 3 environment? This tip details the required XML deployment files to build, deploy, and run EJB3 code on JBoss5.
Source: developerWorks : XML : Technical library By providing open access to increasing amounts of Linked Data, public SPARQL endpoints boost the growth of the Semantic Web by providing great data for you to use in your applications. As with many other data-driven Web sites out there, you can create a Web page by sending a query to these endpoints and then wrapping the results in HTML tags; the big difference for SPARQL endpoints is the public availability of this new data for your applications. With simple CGI scripting, get data from two different SPARQL endpoints to build applications that answer your user's questions about actors shared between two directors and which musicians have released which albums.
Source: developerWorks : XML : Technical library For modern Web 2.0 sites, the ability to mash up information from different sources is a plus. You can use Google Web Toolkit (GWT) to get and process XML-based news feeds such as RSS and the more modern Atom Syndication Format. In this article, explore methods to access any appropriate feed -- despite same-origin policy (SOP) limitations -- and to process the incoming XML data.
Source: developerWorks : XML : Technical library The IBM DB2 9 release features a significant architectural departure from prior versions. For the first time since its debut, DB2 is providing a new query language, new storage technology, new indexing technology, and other features to support XML data and its inherent hierarchical structure. But don't worry, all of DB2's traditional database management features remain, including its support for SQL and tabular data structures. Explore DB2 9's XML technology, and learn why IBM now considers DB2 a "hybrid" or multi-structured database management system. Originally written in 2006, this article has been updated to include product changes in DB2 9.5 and 9.7.
