W3C Organizes Workshop on Data and Services Integration

Integration of heterogeneous data and services has always been a concern for creators and managers of services. With the emergence of the Web, the need for reusing data and services has become even stronger as the number of available services has grown. Different services stacks now exist from Web Services to Cloud-based services. On 20-21 October, W3C is organizing a Workshop on Data and Services Integration hosted by MITRE in Bedford, MA, USA to bring together people with different ways of looking at the issues left unsolved by the existing stacks, to investigate the possible paths to help bridging services built using different paradigms, and to identify points where standardization would help integration of services and data. The Workshop is open to all at no cost, space permitting. Participants must submit a position paper by 9 September 2011. Learn more about the Workshop.
