XML /A (XMLA for Analysis) - A set of XML message interfaces that use the industry standard simple object access protocol, or SOAP,to define the data access interaction between a client application and an analytical data provider (OLAP and data mining) working over the Internet. The jointly published XML/A specification allows corporate developers, third-party tool vendors and other partners to query analytical data providers in a standard way, just as it has been possible to do with all the SQL-based relational databases for many years. The goal for XML/A is to provide an open, standard access application program interface for the OLAP providers and consumers.
