What is IBM DAMIA?
Through a Web-based interface, IBM DAMIA provides easy-to-use tools that developers and IT users alike can use to quickly assemble data feeds from the Internet and a variety of enterprise data sources. The benefits of this service include the ability to aggregate and transform a wide variety of data or content feeds, which can be used in enterprise mashups.
DAMIA lets you do the following:
- Import XML, Atom, and RSS feeds.
- Assemble feeds from both the Internet and from Excel spreadsheets; database support is coming soon.
- Import data from local files in XML format and Excel spreadsheets.
- Aggregate and transform a wide variety of data or content feeds into new syndication services.
When building a complete Web application that provides a user interface, additional tools or technologies are required in order to display the data feed provided by DAMIA. Mashup makers, such as QEDWiki, and feed readers that consume Atom and RSS can be used as the presentation layer in the enterprise Web application.
How does it work?
DAMIA is composed of the following:
- a browser-based Web application for assembling, modifying and previewing mashups
- services for handling storage and retrieval of data feeds created within the enterprise as well as on the Internet. In addition to creating data feeds from various sources, DAMIA can publish information such as Excel spreadsheets or XML documents in mashup formats.
- a repository for sharing and storing feeds or information created by DAMIA
- services for managing feeds and information about mashups; search capabilities; and tools for tagging and rating mashups.
Platform requirements
Firefox 1.5 or above is required.
