Course Description
This course introduces the discipline of Document Engineering: specifying, designing, and deploying electronic documents and information repositories that enable document-centric or information-intensive applications. These applications include web services, information supply chains, single-source publishing, composite applications/virtual enterprises/portals, and so on. Course topics include developing requirements, analyzing existing documents and information sources, conceptual modeling, identifying reusable semantic components, modeling business processes and user interactions, applying patterns to make models more robust, representing models using XML schemas, and using XML models to implement and drive applications.
- There are 8 assignments throughout the semester. These short assignments are designed to develop and reinforce practical skills in analysis, modeling, and implementation of document-centric and model-based applications
- We hope to be able to tailor the assignments in the second half of the semester in small-team "mini-projects" that synthesize the separate activities to support the State of California's e-Services initiative.
- There is no final exam or midterm
