XSLT 2.0: Regular expressions One of the weaknesses in XSLT 1.0 was the very simple set of string manipulation features. In comparison to many popular programming languages, the string functions lacked one very powerful feature, regular expressions. Intel SOA Expressway actually offers this functionality with extension functions for our customer base. In XSLT [...]
Today, the Intel® SOA Expressway product team has announced some of the great strides it has made with the latest release. Security Policy Designer: The Intel® SOA Expressway gateway now allows relevant teams from architecture, security & operations to design & enforce policy templates that conform to Enterprise requirements Policy Dashboard: The updated policy dashboard offers a [...]
It’s been about a year and half since we first released Intel® SOA Expressway for Healthcare, which is a purpose-built, easy-to-deploy integration appliance for connecting islands of information together to enable a secure, high-performance, best-of-breed health information infrastructure. We have now begun shipping release 2.2, which contains a number of new feature enhancements. Healthcare Quick Start [...]
As conformance testing and fixing progresses for the Intel SOA Expressway XSLT 2.0 processor, I’ll continue examining new XSLT 2.0 features. In my previous post, I talked a bit about grouping, which puts items from a sequence into groups by key value or by relative position. With the right input, that might also [...]
While designing the XSLT 2.0 processor for Intel SOA Expressway, our team had to consider how to implement several important new features in the XSLT 2.0 language. In this post we'll look at one of these new features, grouping. Perhaps the biggest simplification feature in XSLT 2.0, grouping refers to assigning items in a sequence [...]
While our development team is making excellent progress towards a beta of the XSLT processor for Intel SOA Expressway (http://www3.intel.com/cd/software/products/asmo-na/eng/373233.htm), I will continue looking at new features in XSLT 2.0. In this post, I’ll look at the only other major new type in the language, the sequence. In XSLT 1.0, XPath expressions could return a [...]
XSLT 2.0 has many new and very useful features for stylesheet developers. In my next few posts, I’ll discuss these new capabilities and examine the benefits they offer. One of the first improvements to XSLT we had to consider when designing our new processor is the rich type system. Actually, the types are at [...]
Mike Loukides makes a good point that the promise of single sign on via OpenID is being reduced by the creation of new identity silos. Many large sites are allowing you to use an identity you have created with them as an OpenID so you can use that identity to login to other sites. [...]
Is Intel still interested in developing XML and XSLT products? After the discontinuation of the Intel XML Software Suite earlier this year, many seem to have concluded that Intel has left the game for good. In fact, in a recent XML mailing list discussion about slow adoption of XSLT 2.0 in browsers, Intel [...]
In a previous post, I stated that Intel's SOA Expressway for Healthcare (Expressway) passed IHE Connectathon testing. This was accomplished by constructing workflows that encapsulate the requirements (transformations, transactions, etc.) necessary for various IHE profiles. These IHE Workflows, now packaged within Expressway, provide an IHE on-ramp/off-ramp for applications and systems either lacking [...]
Last April at HIMSS in Chicago, Intel participated in the IHE showcase , which is essentially a huge "plug fest" for healthcare vendors promoting interoperability in healthcare. Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) is an initiative by healthcare professionals and industry to improve the way computer systems in healthcare share information. The IHE process delivers [...]
Whew, it has been a while since I wrote my last blog. New initiatives for the new year have been keeping me fully consumed. However, one of these new initiatives has reached a point where it was time to get it written up on my blog. The cost of Medicaid and Medicare has been written about [...]
For my first post here I thought best to start with some background and a bit of future gazing to help explain who I am (largely a data-orientated XML geek) and what interests me. My personal involvement with XML processing goes back just about 10 years now, it's been a great personal adventure, from utter [...]
In February 2009, Intel participated in IHE North America’s Connectathon. As a result, the Intel® SOA Expressway for Healthcare successfully tested the following IHE and HITSP Profiles and Actors: IHE Profile IHE Actor HITSP Profile XDS | XDS.b Document Source TP 13 b XDS | XDS.b Document Consumer TP 13 b XDS | XDS.a Document Source TP 13 a XDS | XDS.a Document Consumer TP 13 a Patient Identifier [...]
I recently participated in a webinar with Ken Rubin from HP (formerly EDS) who is the Chief Architect for their Healthcare practice. The webinar was sponsored by the Healthcare Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS). You can access it on demand by registering here. The topic was about the need to standardize, and the benefits of standardizing, software [...]
