Day 18. Working with SOAP and RDF
Today you're going to take a look at two important XML applications—Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) and the Resource Description Framework (RDF). SOAP is an XML-based protocol that allows applications to communicate on the Web. RDF lets us describe resources in a standard way that is machine readable, and it's often used to describe Web documents (although we can use it to describe any type of resource). Here's an overview of the topics covered today:
- Using SOAP
- Using SOAP envelopes, headers, and bodies
- Using SOAP to communicate between Web applications
- Using SOAP in .NET
- Using SOAP with Java
- Creating RDF documents
- Using the Dublin Core
- Using abbreviated RDF syntax
