Applications that Use Oracle XML

There are many potential uses for XML in Internet applications.

Two database-centric application areas where Oracle XML components are well suited are:

• "Business-to-Business/Consumer (B2B/B2C) Messaging" for data exchange among inter or intra system applications

and any combinations of these. This manual focuses on these two application areas. Some typical scenarios in each of these two areas have been identified and are described here.
