Learn Catalogs: Catalog Support Video Demonstration
Catalogs in XML applications are used to redirect requests for resources such as schemas and DTD files from one location to another. They are also used to map PUBLIC ID strings for these resources to SYSTEM ID strings. Learn how to leverage <%=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SS"]%>'s support for the OASIS catalog standard in your XML applications. Play this video demonstration and see how <%=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SS"]%>'s OASIS catalog support can speed XML development while ensuring adherence to widely used standards.
Using <%=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SS"]%> Catalogs covers:
- Using <%=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SS"]%>'s Base catalog, a collection of over one dozen popular industry catalogs that conform to the OASIS catalog standard, for example, DocBook, MathML, VoiceML, WML, Chemical Markup Language, etc.
- Adding catalogs to <%=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SS"]%> projects — <%=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SS"]%> bundles XML Schemas and DTDs from dozens of industry leaders, including the W3C (eg: SVG, XForms, UDDI, etc.), OASIS, Sun, Microsoft, and others (FIXML, Accord, etc.); access to these schemas is just a click away
