Product Description
Effective electronic commerce requires integrating resources and extracting the critical information from across Web sites. From the recent efforts to develop tools for interoperability and warehousing between scattered information on the web emerged the new discipline of web data management, and this book, Web Data Management and Electronic Commerce. The first of its kind, it combines data management and mining, object technology, electronic commerce, Java, and the Internet into a complete overview of the concepts and developments in this new field. It details technologies in security, multimedia data management techniques, and real-time processing and discusses the emerging standards of Java Database Connectivity, XML, metadata, and middleware. A simple Web site isn't good enough anymore To remain competitive, you need Internet capabilities that allow you and your customers to buy, sell, and advertise. Even if you are unfamiliar with e-commerce, this self-contained volume provides the background you need to understand it through appendices that explain data management, Internet, security, and object technology. Approachable enough for the beginner and complete enough for the expert, Web Data Management and Electronic Commerce helps you to manage information effectively and efficiently.
Customer Reviews & Comments
I found this book extremely useful. The author starts with some excellent background material on web data management and then goes into more details on architectures and models for web databases. Finally, she discusses their applications to e-commerce. At times I thought the book was too detailed (e.g., in data management) and at other times I felt that the book ought to have given more details (e.g. in e-commerce). Nevertheless the book emphasizes on web data management and all aspects of this topic. It was very easy to read and as a newcomer to the field I found it very thought provoking. I thought the author explained the security aspects extremely well, partly because she is an expert in database secruity. At times she dwelt more than it was necessary on security as the focus of the book was not on security. I would have liked to have seen more discussions on how specific organizations carry out e-commerce. Since the field is evolving so rapidly I would love to see a follow-on book giving details and examples on e-commerce and the applications of web data management to e-commerce. On the whole an excellent, easy to read book.
