Description
Offered in collaboration with Amigos Library Services and taught by
seasoned XML developers from the libraries of Brown University, the
University of Virginia, and the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities,
this four-day workshop will explore XML with a specific focus on
fundamentals of design, markup and use. Participants will use XML and
XML technologies in the creation of a prototype digital publication.
Topics to be covered include:
1. XML: what is it? how does it differ from SGML and HTML?
2. Working with content models (Schemas and DTDs) and methods of using
them when constructing and validating XML content;
3. Implementing methods of content formatting, transformation, and
delivery (including XSL and cascading stylesheets) so the XML we build
can be delivered, read, and used in a variety of formats;
4. Using XML applications such as XQuery and eXist to further utilize
XML capabilities and technologies in a Web environment.
