Agenda

Rapid fire discussion aboutContent SyndicationContent AggregationThings to Consider whenusing Web Services

MCMS Web Services ScenariosCreating an XML Web Service with MCMSConsiderationsSecurity and Access Consuming Web ServicesCustom Placeholder Server Controls

Technologies

Syndication Defined

A distribution of content to various destinations for repurposing or republishing in another context.

Examples: To sell a comic strip, column, or television series for simultaneous publication in newspapers, periodicals, or independent television stations.

Aggregation Defined

Aggregation Defined

A collection of related content from various sources for repurposing or republishing in another context.

Examples:

Google, Yahoo, etc.CNN, ABC, NBC, etc.

Some Considerations

Scheduled versus Real Time

Push versus Pull

Authenticated versus Anonymous

RSS versus Web Service

Redundant vs. Centralized

Scheduled Versus Real Time

Scheduled Utilize resources off-peak

Handle large volumes

Trend analysis; all content available

Real TimeFreshest possible content

Potentially latent or even unavailable

Ad hoc; only get content requestedProvides for “Incremental Data Discovery”

Push Versus Pull

PushControl what, when, and who gets content

Synchronous for publisher

Typically Event-based

No wait time when needed by aggregator

PullSynchronous for consumer

Available at the convenience of the “puller”

No redundant store available

Puller may be selectivePrivate vs. Open Access

Authenticated Versus Anonymous

Authenticated accessRestricted access to content

Potentially fee based

Highly secure

Anonymous accessUnrestricted access to content

Promoted, publicized, exposed, broadcast

Typically free

RSS vs. Web Service

RSS Versus Web Service

RSSStrict standard for organizing content

Powerful tools available for consumption

Requires an aggregator

Gaining popularity

Web ServiceAnything is possible, sky is the limit

Proprietary based upon public standards

Syndicate chooses level of publicity

Consumer must be technically savvy

Why Aggregate?

Aggregate Web sitesRich Content

Popular gathering place, visibility

Big Picture

No need to visit source (perhaps)

Simple hyperlinks are not sufficientPotential to lose visitor

Adding value to aggregate contentDifferentiate your site

Role of Web Services

Role Of Web Services with MCMS

PublishingExposing content to others to pull/consume

Example: www.microsoft.com/cmserver

Exposing an API to others for adding/changing/deleting content

Example: BotsConsulting

ConsumingConsuming external Web Services in your MCMS Site

Example: Consuming an RSS feed via a custom placeholder control

Example: Pushing data to a web service via workflow events

Custom Placeholders

Developing a Web Service with MCMS

MCMS Web Service Project

Publishing APIMust run on a machine with MCMS installed

CmsApplicationContext vs. CmsHttpContext
