What's New
The new Digital Dashboard Framework provides a common way for organizations to build Digital Dashboards
on a shared architecture based entirely around web standards. Introducing
Web Parts Web Parts are the heart of the new Digital
Dashboard Framework. Web Parts are reusable components that wrap Web-based content such as XML, HTML, and
scripts with a standard property schema that controls how the Web Parts are
rendered in a digital dashboard. The Web Part schema offers you multiple ways
of supplying content to your Web Parts. You can embed content in the Web Part
itself, add a pointer to a location on the Internet or your local intranet,
stream content from your Internet server, or add pointers to XML documents and
XSL files. Because all Web Parts adhere to a common standard, you can create
Web Part libraries that you can draw from to assemble all digital dashboards in
your organization, and system administrators can manage and distribute Web
Parts using these libraries.
Built
on Open Standards The New Digital Dashboard
Framework is based on open standards and protocols to enable the greatest degree
of interoperability. The Digital Dashboard Resource Kit 2.0 sample digital
dashboards use WebDAV (Distributed Authoring
and Versioning) to read Digital Dashboard and Web Part properties from Exchange
2000 Server, Windows® 2000 or SQL Server 7.0. These properties are stored and
manipulated as XML.
