Data Transport
As the underlying technologies of the Internet, data transport on the
IABIN network will be standardized on the TCP/IP and HTTP protocols.
Presentation Language
The IABIN network will deliver web page content to users within standard
web browser software using HTML 4 as a presentation language.
Data Encoding
The eXtensible Markup Language (XML) provides a clear direction for
improved interoperability, and is the foundation for data transfer within
the Web Services architecture. XML is a computer platform independent
language for exchanging and validating data between heterogeneous systems.
The Web Services model uses XML extensively to describe data structures in
a form that can be freely exchanged between different platforms and to
describe computer interfaces and networks. XML and other technologies in
the XML family are well supported in most mainstream software development
tools and have a proven track record in mainstream cross-platform system
applications. More information on XML can be obtained at
http://www.w3c.org.
IABIN will adopt XML as its standard for data encoding and sharing.
