Schedule overview for 2007-12-04

An overview of XSL-FO 1.1, used to express how to format XML documents into a paginated (printable) result such as paper copy or PDF files.

Use the power of publishing applications like Adobe InDesign CS3 to provide high-end layout of imported XML database content, while authoring and validating with lower-cost XML editing tools.

Lisa Bos and Eliot Kimber will illustrate a complete end-to-end publishing solution with RSuite and Typefi.

Lisa Bos will present current trends in CMS for publishers including native XML management.

Initially a database solution, the process of streamlining gradually revealed a content delivery system based on on a succession of transformations on an XML source, this is how it evolved.

DITA has compelling applicability to any kind of content that needs the general benefit of XML representation and can be managed on an element level.

This session describes how to develop dynamic content delivery applications using XML databases, XQuery and XForms. The session highlights how using open standards simplifies application development.

This panel will discuss different methods for modeling metadata inside XML content in publishing applications.

A hands-on look at how DITA can bring discipline and flexibility to the management of learning content.

Lightning rounds are a series of short, fast-paced presentations on related topics.

Many newer websites are offering REST as an xml web service interface. Learn how Ruby on Rails allows developers to program their entire app in a RESTful nature, and dramatically reduce dev time.

We share approaches & lessons-learned from efforts to leverage microformats & mashups to expose common information (e.g., events, locations, points-of-contact) to support 21st century warfighters.

This paper introduces the Open Data Foundation, a non-profit promoting a standard infrastructure for the exchange of data and metadata for statistics and research.

OASIS Open Document Format specifies how to represent office document such as text documents, presentations and spreadsheets in XML. We show how it can be made web accessible and group editable.

This session examines the model for the Internet as a platform of interconnected devices, delves into changes in the model, & examines the technology & business pattern better known as the Web 2.0.

A developer-oriented introduction to the Atom Publishing Protocol and the Apache Abdera project.

WebPath is an experimental XPath-2-based query language designed to treat the web as effectively a single XML document. The talk discusses design considerations as well as an implementation in Python.

Applications built on 'skimming' principles are very loosely-coupled, and can run on just about any server-side architecture.

A failing in large data models is that the data items lose their connection to their original business contexts. Semantic technologies can restore the connection betwen the model and the business.

Can XML really solve today's enterprise problems? How do we manage complex XML metadata, maintain performance, persist complex hierarchical structures, or deal with non-XML format such as SWIFT.

What happened when a bank allowed Web Services Security experts to try to breach the protection of its Web Services?

This presentation proposes an architectural approach that delivers highly scalable, robust AJAX Enterprise Applications (AEA) for data intensive environments.

We report on efforts to build a XSLT processor capable of handling Gigabyte sized documents with equivalent performance characteristics to the best known existing implementation models.

I'll show how to use a specialized URIResolver to allow standard XSLT and XQuery engines to process data that is in formats other than XML, such as EDI, CSV, or xBase. Examples and code are included.

Practical discussion of enterprise data modeling and XML schema systems for large-scale publishing. Covers many issues for data architects, some of which are not widely discussed in the industry.

Use XML to unify and standardize information between Design, Production and Support such as process industry S88/BatchML-compliant Recipe Editor, engineering and other dynamic compound documents.
