CAM Building Blocks
CAM is built upon a number of existing standards:
- Extensible Markup Language (XML)
- CAM templates are expressed in a standardized XML
- XML Schema
- CAM provides an abstraction layer for XSD schema that makes manipulating and defining business information exchange templates significantly easier than using just XSD schema alone XML Schema.
- XPath V2.0
- CAM uses XPath extensively for defining rules and path target expressions that are at the heart of the CAM validator processing.
- XSLT scripting
- the existing open source solutions leverage XSLT extensively and particularly the Saxon XSLT processor (also available on SourceForge – Saxon
- electronic business XML(ebXML)
- core components and registry concepts developed for ebXML (ISO15000) provide significant conceptual foundations to the CAM approach to content assembly.

Famous quotes containing the words cam, building and/or blocks:
“Sometimes she sank, sometimes she swam,
Until she cam to the miller’s dam.”
—Unknown. Binnorie; or, The Two Sisters (l. 21–22)
“No: until I want the protection of Massachusetts to be extended to me in some distant Southern port, where my liberty is endangered, or until I am bent solely on building up an estate at home by peaceful enterprise, I can afford to refuse allegiance to Massachusetts, and her right to my property and life. It costs me less in every sense to incur the penalty of disobedience to the State than it would to obey. I should feel as if I were worth less in that case.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“He has given me six hundred street signs.
The time I was dancing he built a museum.
He built ten blocks when I moved on the bed.
He constructed an overpass when I left.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
