Keynote Part 6 (Pinpoint and Dallas)

Pinpoint currently is integrated into the Azure Portal. Allows developers to market services to customers worldwide. Seems a lot like itunes for web services.

Dallas is an open market place for data. Dave Cambell explains Microsoft codename “Dallas”. Dallas displays a list of data setsĀ (public and commercial) that you can subscribe to. This data can then be used in your application. Dallas Service Explorer allows you to see the data in a meaningful way.

Open Data Protocol is a protocol embedded into Atom feeds that describe the data your seeing in an open, meaningful way. Evolved from ADO.NET Astoria.

Takes advantage of publically available data in a uniform, single format way.
