JSON is a light-weight alternative to XML for data exchange, language independent, and easily readable by most programming languages.
Define interoperability in the context of application systems
Interoperability refers to the ability of two application systems to exchange information and use the exchanged information.
How does the service-oriented approach from the business process integration-oriented approach?
The service-oriented approach provides services instead of information, focusing on loose coupling and service provision.
What is the role of XML in data exchange?
XML provides a common data-exchange format, although it is not memory efficient, and is supported by various middleware vendors.

Middleware acts as a bridge between different systems, with examples including application servers like JBoss and transaction-oriented TP Monitors.
What are the key characteristics of a transaction in a TP Monitor system?
A transaction in a TP Monitor system must adhere to the ACID criteria: atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability, and either completes or rolls back.
How is Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) different from B2B application integration?
EAI focuses on integration within an enterprise, while B2B application integration occurs between different enterprises.
Describe the concept of loose coupling in the context of service-oriented architecture
Loose coupling in service-oriented architecture refers to the independence of services from each other, allowing for flexibility and easier maintenance.
