Abstract:Electronic forms on the Web provide user interface to data and
services offered on the Web. By using Web forms users can interact
with the enterprise applications and back-end systems linked to
these forms. Web applications, e-government and e-commerce solutions
have sparked the demand for better Web forms - supporting richer and
more dynamic interactions than what is possible with existing HTML
forms.
XForms is new World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) specification that
provides more intelligent support for Web forms to meet this
demand. This is achieved by separating the data model of the form
from their presentation format. Both the data and presentation
models are described using XML. This design enables more efficient
integration with backend systems and facilitates efficient exchange
of XML data. The separation also makes it possible to have multiple
presentation formats for the same data model, which enables
repurposing, reuse and accessibility across different types of
devices.
This presentation:
* provides an introduction to the XForms standard, and compares
XForms to other approaches
* describes our XForms pilot project, which was funded by NOIE ITOL
grant
* highlights our initial experience of using XForms in various
business environments as part of the pilot project, including
tools used and results achieved
* will provide the attendees with background information that can be
valuable when making decisions about their future strategy and
adoption path regarding Web forms technologies
