Canonical Model Management-A Natural Evolution From XML Schema Management

The majority of organizations that are moving away from point-to-point integration quickly realize that it is essential to adopt a single Canonical Model to ensure data interoperability for data in motion. As the standard for data in motion is XML it naturally follows that the first step is to create a Canonical XSD. Many organizations are keen to accelerate this effort by adoption industry Canonical Schema like OAGi, ACORD, NIEM, FpML, ARtS, or reference models like Oracle AIA and IBM FSDM or IAA.
