imagine a tank sensor sending that info once an hour or something might
work. It wouldn't become big data until lots of tanks' info was collected in one place. It also can work outside of http; as in smtp and sms which seem like it might be useful. <br><br>I also found there are a few big data sources available online for testing against.

<br>I'm sorry for being so inept at expressing myself in technical terms sometimes. The web services architecture I was trying to ask about is the Web Service Description Language and Simple Object Access Protocol. I wonder how SOAP services might be used in a Catalyst application or for the transfer/access of massive amounts of data that Frank Braswell described tonight. The relevant Perl module is SOAP::Lite. <br>
<br></div><div>Maybe I could bear down on the subject and be able to present in a few months.<span><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></div><span><font color="#888888"><div>Jack<br></div>
