AT&T Labs To Build On XML-Based Portal from DataChannel
XMLFramework will enable integrated publishing, notification and
personalization of content via browser
AT&T Labs today inked an agreement
with XML pioneer DataChannel to license DataChannel's XMLFramework technology
to explore the development of next-generation network services.
AT&T Labs plans "to rapidly prototype new e-commerce offerings"
that can exchange and manage information in a reliable, secure way,
the company said in a release.
"XML is becoming the universal language for data exchange,"
said Dado Vrsalovic, Vice President of AT&T Labs. "DataChannel's
EIP [Enterprise Information Portal] solution will provide us with functionality
to help address the convergence of networks and multiple media types."
DataChannel's RIOTM, an EIP application
server based on XML, creates Enterprise Portals by providing data
access and advanced administration capabilities, including N-tier
support for access, configuration, and entitlements.
RIO is part of an architectural framework for XML systems that enables
DataChannel to provide comprehensive design and consulting integration
services, as well as tools, solution software and maintenance and support
offerings. AT&T Labs will work closely with DataChannel to prototype
next-generation network services. Further details of the relationship,
which DataChannel commented was "currently unrelated" to its
co-development work with Microsoft Corp., will be disclosed this summer.
