XML Component Dictionary capabilities are provided in conjunction
with the CAM Editor toolset. These dictionaries accelerate the
development of consistent XML information exchanges using standard sets
of dictionary components.
The quick tutorials are aimed at showing the 'how to' of the basic
capabilities to jump start use of XML dictionaries with the CAM Editor.
Also included are tips and functions relating to use of NIEM exchange development, IEPD and EIEM techniques. This
includes generating XSD schema, reuse scores, wantlist, and cross reference
spreadsheets along with models and UML.
The collection of dictionary tutorials videos run for a total of approximately 20 minutes. Each video can be reviewed individually also.
Learn how to use the dictionary functions to create dictionaries by
harvesting data model components from existing XSD schema, SQL database
table schema, or simple Excel / Open Office spreadsheets with tables of
components listed.
These
videos should be viewed in conjunction with reviewing the overall
concepts and techniques described in the companion video on the CAM Editor and Dictionaries overview.
The approach is aligned with OASIS and Core Components Technical
Specification (CCTS) standards specifications for XML components and
dictionaries.
Dictionary collections can be stored locally on the
file system, or local network, or collaboratively on the web or cloud
deployment, or can be shared and managed securely using the Oracle
Enterprise Repository (OER) tool.
Included in the latest release of the CAM Editor is the ability to
use the analyse dictionary tool to determine duplicate components,
conflicting component definitions, missing component descriptions and so
on. This ensures high quality dictionary component specifications.
Using the CAM Editor you can also create MindMap models and UML physical
models of your dictionary components sets.
For a complete guide to using the CAM Editor see the main YouTube video tutorials website and the CAM Editor website.
