Abstract
This poster presents an overview of an
exploratory research project to identify, describe,
and investigate the applicability of a Web services
(WS) approach to access legacy data. In the Z
Texas Implementation Component of the Library
of Texas (ZLOT) project, the ZLOT technical team
implemented a multi-purpose Texas Library
Directory Database (TLDD) that is used as a back-
end database to support the Library of Texas
(LOT) Resource Discovery Service (RDS). The
researchers developed and implemented a
prototype WS application to show how a legacy
system can be accessed and its data can be
searched and retrieved. This study focused on
understanding how requests and responses
between software applications are encoded in
Extensible Markup Language (XML).
