The .NET Framework Class Libraries provide access to system functionality the foundation on which .NET Framework applications, components, and controls are built. Available now for the first time in printed form, this set includes the System.XML namespace, which provides standards-based support for processing XML, and the System.Data namespace, which includes the classes that constitute the Microsoft ADO.NET architecture. The ADO.NET architecture empowers developers to build components that efficiently manage data from multiple data sources. This Microsoft Press #174; title includes a poster ideal for quickly looking up System.XML and System.Data details.

Defining a formal domain ontology is generally considered a useful, not to say necessary step in almost every software project. This is because software deals with ideas rather than with self-evident physical artefacts. However, this development step is hardly ever done, as ontologies rely on well-defined and semantically powerful AI concepts such as description logics or rule-based systems, and most software engineers are largely unfamiliar with these.
Gaševic and his co-authors try to fill this gap by covering the subject of MDA application for ontology development on the Semantic Web. Part I of their book describes existing technologies, tools, and standards like XML, RDF, OWL, MDA, and UML. Part II presents the first detailed description of OMG’s new ODM (Ontology Definition Metamodel) initiative, a specification which is expected to be in the form of an OMG language like UML. Finally, Part III is dedicated to applications and practical aspects of developing ontologies using MDA-based languages. The book is supported by a website showing many ontologies, UML and other MDA-based models, and the transformations between them.
"The book is equally suited to those who merely want to be informed of the relevant technological landscape, to practitioners dealing with concrete problems, and to researchers seeking pointers to potentially fruitful areas of research. The writing is technical yet clear and accessible, illustrated throughout with useful and easily digestible examples." from the Foreword by Bran Selic, IBM Rational Software, Canada.
"I do not know another book that offers such a high quality insight into UML and ontologies." Steffen Staab, U Koblenz, Germany

Databases are used in nearly every kind of business. Microsoft SQL Server is one of the leading database products in the market today because of its reputation for ease of use and low total cost of ownership. With the release of SQL Server 2005, Microsoft will significantly enhance the capabilities of the product. These enhanced features fall into three main categories: data management, developer tools, and business intelligence. Developer’s Guide to SQL Server 2005 explores these new and improved features and covers topics relevant to developers beyond simple administrative tasks. The book is structured around the construction of an Internet movie rental Web site, where the database maintains customer lists, the catalog of films, and transactions. It also shows how SQL Server can be used to store video. This application illustrates the features of SQL Server 2005 in a realistic manner, and provides many insights into the new ways for developers to manipulate servers and databases. Each of the chapters in the book builds up pieces of the application as they would be done through a real development lifecycle, and the end product is a fully functioning database application. Specific discussions of similarities and differences between SQL Server 2005 and past versions allow users to leverage what they already know and apply it. After working through the book, developers will be up to speed and ready to integrate SQL Server 2005 into their own projects. FEATURES: * Provides developers with insight into the new features in SQL Server 2005, particularly data management, developer tools, and business intelligence * Teaches developers how to create a complete database application based on a real-life project examined throughout the book * Provides discussion of similarities and/or differences between SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005, tips & tricks, and additional reference resources related to the topic being covered * Examines best practices in design and development * Includes a CD-ROM with all of the code from the book and the application, as well as all of the figures
