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.

The eldest cam and push’d her in.”

“Good blocks of oak it was I split,
As large around as the chopping block;
And every piece I squarely hit
Fell splinterless as a cloven rock.”
