        <section name="Tuscany - Getting Started">

            <p>You are probably on this page because you are new to Apache Tuscany and the technologies around which it is built and would like to get started with it.<br />
<br />Here is a sequence of steps that we think will help you get started
with Tuscany: -</p>

			<td width="596">Apache Tuscany if about
			providing the next generation SOA infrastructure and programming
			model that : -<br />
			- enables uniform access to services implemented in heterogeneous
			technologies<br />
			- enables uniform processing model for service data exchanged across
			service networks<br />
			- enables uniform access to data residing in heterogeneous data
			sources (RDB, XML, ...)<br />
			<br />
			Tuscany achieves this by providing implementations for the following
			technologies : Service Component Architecture (SCA), Service Data
			Objects (SDO) and Data Access Services (DAS), respectively. Hence
			there are three different technologies implemented in Apache Tuscany,
			each having its own motivation. You can start with any one of them
			that interests you rightaway and move to the others.</td>

			which ever you might choose to begin with. <br />
			<br />
			The SCA and SDO
			technologies are being specified by the Open SOA collaboration -
			http://www.osoa.org. A good start into these technologies would be to
			take a look at the following documents: -<table border="0" width="100%">
