Schedule overview for 2007-12-05

The importance of XML technology to the legislative process in several states will be explored, including its role in bill drafting and publishing processes as well as support by elected officials.

Creating XML transformations in two tasks, Mapping and Coding, maximizes the skills of various team members, reduces development time and cost, and increases correctness of the finished code.

This training is for people familiar with XSLT - either XSLT 1.0 or XSLT 2.0 - who want to improve the reliability and accuracy of their stylesheets.

XSLT 2.0 introduces new keywords, syntax, and elements, This training for those who know XSLT 1.0 highlights what's new and what's changed between XSLT 1.0 and XSLT 2.0.

Miguel de Icaza will talk about efforts to create an compatible Linux browser plugin compatible Microsoft's new Silverlight web platform.

LINQ to XML is a modernized in-memory XML programming API designed to enhance developer productivity, especially when developing Silverlight applications for the web.

This tutorial introduces participants to the design and specification of XML vocabularies. XML Schema 1.0 is used, but the emphasis is on the intellectual and social problems of language design.

Schematron (a language for testing and reporting on structure and content of XML documents) is small, powerful, easy to learn, and an excellent complement to XSD, DTD, or RELAX NG for XML validation.

Based on AtomPub and OpenSearch, the Integrated Documentation Environment for Aircraft Support (IDEAS) framework enables federated searches of technical content and updates via web feeds.

Sidewinder turns every web-page into a full-featured desktop application, making programming as easy as coding XHTML, as well as supporting the writing of complete applications in JavaScript.

A quick start introduction to the DITA specification with a focus on how to create and process DITA-based content as well as key DITA concepts.

To be confirmed

An introduction to the language with practical examples about how to query, transform and aggregate XML documents using XQuery

How do I use XQuery to access my relational data and join it with other XML data? How do I update relational databases from XQuery?

How can I consume Web services from XQuery and how do I expose Data Services based on XQuery through Web services?

How can XQuery help me deal with XML industry standards, for example ACORD for insurance?

How Info 2.0 technologies uses XML to extend the information fabric to new, diverse information sources such as unstructured content, e-mail, desktop documents and so on.

This presentation is a case study featuring the Financial Accounting Foundation, Financial Accounting Standards Board. The project is codification (US GAAP).

The opening keynote asks, "Does XML have a future on the web?" I'll show how XML is thriving on the web, as well as behind it, with XQuery enabling new content models and even new programming models.

This session reviews the many constructs of XSL-FO and why they are included in the specification.

This workshop explores database design and information retrieval in data-centric XML applications.
