Simplifying Distributed Configuration with Torus by Mike Taylor

In this talk, Mike Taylor from Index Data discusses how to streamline the process of distributed configuration using the Torus system. This presentation aims to eliminate unnecessary complexities often associated with configuration standards like ISO/IEC 11179 and UDDI. Rather than showcasing intricate XML codes, the focus is on simplicity and effective solutions for configuring target databases. Mike addresses the challenges of choosing and displaying target databases for metasearch engines, introducing innovative yet accessible methods to enhance the user experience.
