XML and the e-GIF - a Management Overview
All IT projects in the public sector must comply with the e-GIF (or the Openscotland Information Age Framework, which is based on the e-GIF and can be covered in this course).
Who should attend
This course is aimed at decision makers and project managers in the public sector and suppliers to the public sector. It is normally run as an in-house course, and two sessions can be run in one day to avoid having too many people absent from the workplace at once.
What you will learn
This overview presents XML at a management level, indicating its benefits and limitations. It is designed to help managers work with technical staff to ensure optimal solutions. As well as the overview of XML itself, it includes sections on the use of XML within the public sector, covering the e-Government Interoperability Framework and case studies taken from the public sector.
Topics Covered
The standard course covers the following, but can be tailored to suit individual needs
- What is XML?
- How is XML used?
- Benefits and limitations
- XML vocabularies
- Working with XML
- Specifications, schemas and validation
- Form input
