Progress Software's DataXTend Extends Consistency for SOAs

Over the years, I’ve found that I’m listed in some data repositories as Gian Trotta, Gian G. Trotta, Trotta, Gian and as John Trotta and Gina Trotta to those who have opted to anglicize or feminize my name. And that’s just one example of what makes it hard to integrate data from different databases in SOAs. But last week, Progress Software unveiled its DataXtend Semantic Integrator – and its model, mapping and schema creation-tools are potent aids to validating and transforming data access across SOA applications.
