ZapThink examines Web services, content management XML and Web services research firm ZapThink LLC, based in Waltham, Mass., has released a new report highlighting how XML is impacting the content management market. ZapThink's "XML in the Content Lifecycle" report examines how current ad-hoc content management processes are moving toward models where content is componentized using XML, and then turned into "services" that are discoverable on the network. According to the report, the primary challenge in the enterprise for producers of content -- information that is intended for human consumption -- is content reuse: the ability to integrate content from disparate sources. "Content processes are currently where distributed computing applications were in the mid-1980's," said Ronald Schmelzer, senior analyst at ZapThink. "Content today is frequently out of context, hard to reuse, constantly changing with multiple versions in multiple languages, and insecure. Content solutions that leverage XML promise to improve the economics of working with content considerably." * remove serial comma? The 60-page report will be available through ZapThink's Web site for $995.
