What is DirXML and what does it do?
DirXML lets companies synchronize data from multiple directories and databases throughout the enterprise to create a rich set of data and then share that data with trusted partners. DirXML defines a new way of using XML and the directory for data transformation and usage. DirXML lets new e-business applications take advantage of the rich data set. DirXML also lets you create an application view of the information in the directory and then replicate that information through XML and an XSL processor. DirXML preserves the authority of the data sources and is based completely on business policies for authority, information mapping, and replication. With DirXML, you can access information from any system without modifying the application, then connect to the information through an XML connector to the directory. Once the information is in the directory, you can create a new type of e-business application that can access a cross-section of the rich data set. For more information, see DirXML
