"Balisage: The Markup Conference" (http://www.balisage.net) is an annual peer-reviewed XML conference: how to create markup; what it means; hierarchies and overlap; modeling; taxonomies; transformation; query, searching, and retrieval; presentation and accessibility; making systems that make markup dance (or dance faster to a different tune in a smaller space).
Come to lovely Montreal, Canada from August 3rd to 6th for four action-packed days of angle brackets! Here’s a baker dozen (or so) sampling from the much larger list of Balisage 2010 presentations:
- gXML, a new approach to cultivating XML trees in Java
- Java integration of XQuery — an information unit oriented approach
- Reverse modeling for domain-driven engineering of publishing technology
- Managing semantics in XML vocabularies
- XML pipeline processing in the browser
- Where XForms meets the glass: Bridging between data and interaction design
- Schema component paths for schema analysis
- A streaming XSLT processor
- Multi-structured documents and the emergence of annotations vocabularies
- Processing arbitrarily large XML using a persistent DOM
- Automatic upconversion using XProc
- Scripting documents with XQuery
- XQuery design patterns
- Parallel processing and your XML data
Want to travel on the weekend so you can talk about angle brackets for an extra day? Then register for the pre-conference symposium on August 2nd, “XML for the Long Haul: Issues in the Long-term Preservation of XML”.
