3. Background
"Open Data is the new default…
anywhere, anytime on any
device, and everything should be
APIs"
Steven VanRoekel
Federal CIO – Whitehouse Digital Strategy Architect

4. Decoding the Digital Strategy
• What exactly are Open Data APIs?
• How can Oracle solutions support them?
• What does a solution architecture look like?

5. 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

7. 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
• Individual column assignments made as DB
mapping rules to existing XML structure layout;
• Original XML layout imported from industry Existing application
SQL tables; e.g.
schema (such as NIEM PMIX shown here) Oracle
Healthcare, E-
Business
Suite, custom
system, etc.

14. 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

15. 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)

17. 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

• 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
