Empowering business data and process analysts They are the ones with the knowledge about the business requirements and implementation nuances Empowering the XML developers tasked with delivering the software solution Provide neutral methods that leverage existing skill sets and knowledge base – e.g. XML and SQL and minimize need to learn new technologies Deliver the NIEM domain and core component sets in format that can be quickly adapted and reused Slide 4

Oracle Draft Materials – Limited Circulation Summary Minimal learning curve for practitioners Deliver the NIEM domain and core component sets in format that can be quickly adapted and reused Provide technology neutral methods, tools and techniques Leverage visual metaphors – WYSIWYG This is the approach we are delivering today Slide 5
