Combining common business language taxonomies with modeling tools
encourages architects, modelers, and developers to understand and use commonly
understood business terms, which eliminates the ambiguity that loosely
specified language can introduce. This drives alignment of requirements
between IT and business stakeholders. This article describes how to use
InfoSphere(TM) Business Glossary, Rational(R) Software Architect, and
InfoSphere Data Architect within a specific development flow to introduce
agreed-upon terms into the modeling environments, establishing the correct
semantics early in the development cycle. This effort decreases the cost of
development by reducing the churn of getting IT to understand what the
business requirements really mean.

The IBM DB2 9 release features a significant architectural departure from
prior versions. For the first time since its debut, DB2 is providing a new
query language, new storage technology, new indexing technology, and other

including its support for SQL and tabular data structures. Explore DB2 9's
XML technology, and learn why IBM now considers DB2 a "hybrid" or
multi-structured database management system. Originally written in 2006, this

Interoperability and standards are the latest buzzwords in the
healthcare industry today. Use of standards is key to giving hospitals and
doctors the capability to interoperate to share patient records better. IBM
Research has been investigating the healthcare industry's evolution of
standards, including the IHE and HL7 standards. This article offers a brief
introduction to these standards and protocols, and it offers a scenario of an
IBM DB2(R) pureXML(R) solution that follows the IHE QED protocol.
