Why Use XML Canon with BW?
- XML-based version control
- Web-based desktop for managing SOA assets
XML Canon provides a web-based desktop for viewing and managing all the services, schemas, shared resources, etc. in its repository, dramatically improving reusability.
Fine-grained data services like database lookups may be independent. But as higher-level, composite business services such as "Hiring an employee" or "Processing a Loan" are implemented, inter-dependencies increase. XML Canon allows users to analyze the impact of an asset change, process-, project- or enterprise-wide.
