Developing Collaborative Applications Using Ubl And Xml Standards

This survey describes the implementation process for a collaborative application based on W3C standards and Universal Business Language (UBL), a standard designed for business document exchange. The prototype will use XForms instead of the classical HTML forms and XQuery as the server side alternative. This paper emphasizes on the importance of using the XML stack of languages for developing a web application in order to improve flexibility and on the importance of using standards for content exchange.
