XML as a Data Exchange Medium for DoD Legacy Databases
Kris Pradeep · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 2002
This thesis addresses the issue of interoperability in DoD legacy system databases and evaluates XML as a tool for transferring message data between varied systems. With the demands for increased communication, the dire requirement for a common mode of information transfer is greatly realized. Many legacy systems have developed their own unique interfaces. XML is one solution which can help ease the transition to a common interface. This thesis is a part of a larger team effort. In contributing to this larger effort, a software program was developed to generate select messages in their native and XML formats.
