Viewing public government data with Windows Azure and PHP: a cloud interoperability scenario using REST
This week Microsoft is participating in the first Gov 2.0 Summit produced by O'Reilly Media, Inc. and TechWeb in Washington D.C., to explore how technology can enable transparency, collaboration and efficiency in government. Today, we're pleased to present a cloud interoperability scenario which takes advantage of the recently announced Toolkit for PHP with ADO.NET Data Services to view public government data with Windows Azure and PHP.
As you may recall, few weeks ago, Microsoft announced the Toolkit for PHP with ADO.NET Data Services, a new bridge enabling PHP developers to connect to .NET using a RESTful architecture. Today, we've published a cloud interoperability scenario where a Windows Azure application exposes data in a standard way (XML / Atom) and how you can simply “consume” this data from a PHP web application. This scenario takes advantage of the Open Government Data Initiative (OGDI), another piece of Microsoft's Open Government effort, built on the foundation of transparency, choice and interoperability.

My name is Jean-Christophe Cimetiere, Senior Technical Evangelist, and I’m part of the Interoperability Technical Strategy team lead by Jean Paoli. My focus is on technical interoperability topics/issues between Microsoft products/technologies and others (competitors, partners, open source, etc). Prior to that job (just started summer 2007) I spent 4 years at Microsoft France driving marketing efforts for the .NET Framework, Visual Studio, and Silverlight. Before that I spent 10 years in the development/consulting/analyst domains. It’s been a while since I have been doing any writing and have missed it (although I’ve been doing quite a few videos). So here we go, I’m back online!
