Introduction
This course concentrates on general issues of information management using web services. In the technology part we discuss specific web server implementations and the relationship to system performance, portal, proxy cache and search engine implementation aspects and architectures of web services using web application servers and XML application servers. In the information management section we cover how web services can consolidate different data backends. Here we not only discuss relational databases, but also XML and meta data stores. The content management section sheds some light on logistics and business aspects of content management and content syndication.

Key concepts there are meta data standards like RDF and Topic Maps and ontologies for knowledge engineering.Objectives
