Decoding the Digital Strategy

•What exactly are Open Data APIs?

•How can Oracle solutions support them?

•What does a solution architecture look like?


Open Data APIs explained

•A way, via the internet, to securely deliver

information between entities and systems

•API – Application Programming Interface

•Security is supported along with roles and

permissions for requestors, e.g.

– Public information – such as road works, health services, voting

– Private information – patient data, student data, company data


Oracle Solutions for Open Data

•Introducing Open-XDX

•How Oracle Solutions work with Open-XDX

•Open Data APIs – unleashed data

•Cross-platform and device delivery


Oracle Open Data Solution – Open-XDX

•Open-XDX is an all new component designed

to deliver rapid Open Data APIs

•Integrates into Oracle Fusion Middleware

foundation and Database products

•Uses XML configuration templates and code-

less methods and open source NIEM tools

•Allows plug-and-play delivery for Oracle

customers and applications

Parameters

Store Configuration

• Individual column assignments made as DB mapping rules to existing XML structure layout;

• Original XML layout imported from industry schema (such as NIEM PMIX shown here)

Drag and Drop Mappings

• Drag and Drop table into XML structure

• Complete XML structure components automatically inserted (with DBMappings);

• All component names / definitions conform to NIEM NDR (smart rename wizard converts SQL to XML)

SQL DB Mapping Quick Guide

•Tables and Views mappable– Direct access only, use of synonyms not supported– Foreign keys for relationships between tables

•Primary keys and Foreign keys automatically mapped– Indexes not mapped automatically – must be referenced – Views – no index definitions – so must be referenced

•Data - by default all records are retrieved from all tables referenced– Filtering – parameters must be used on all tables to produce

subset of matching records as needed – e.g. date range, customerID

– Master & Parent / Child table hierarchy automatically deduced from DBMapping rules and XPath to XML structure

•Access control via normal account admin and user rights•Tested with Oracle DB and MySQL


XML Structure Usage

•Repeatable parent element for matching SQL table– Rows of data inserted as child elements of parent

•Table joins provided by parameter select statements– Select statements reference key fields (primary or foreign keys)

•Optional and Choice elements– If not used for extracted data, then exclude or use default value– Ensure components needed for data are not part of choice or

optional

•Map to existing elements or add new elements– Attributes also supported

•Data hinting value mechanism can be used in tandem with SQL data inputs for fixed values (company name, company address, exchange version #, etc)


Tools Check List

•SQL Database– Oracle SQL database– MySQL database– JDBC connector for target SQL database

•SQL Development tool– MySQL Workbench– SQL Developer

•Open-XDX solution– CAM Editor XML visual developer– Open-XDX JAR for XML generation batch component

•Secure message delivery– Oracle Weblogic / SOA Suite– Open-XDX integration (JAX-WS)


Deployment Usage Scenarios

• Rapid prototyping of information exchange packages

• Developing NIEM conformant exchange structures / dictionaries

• Query / Response interfaces with filter parameters

• Publish / Subscribe Daily or Hourly reporting

• XML information structures conform to SQL database model

• Limited number of SQL tables involved

• SQL data model well behaved with primary indexes and foreign keys

• Out of Scope

– Highly complex reporting and data manipulation

– Huge data volumes / massively high query rates per minute

– Multiple sets of tables and relationships


Key Technology Capabilities

• Delivering on the Open Data Digital Strategy Vision for government

• Open Standards and Open Source based

• Plug and play with code-free templates and rapid development

• Supports NIEM and Open XML exchanges

• Leverages deployed technology today

• Workflow integration

• Secure messaging delivery and partner management

• Delivered across-platform and device

• End-to-end security & governance
