Extreme Markup Languages 2005 dates announced

["Elledge, Marion" <MElledge@idealliance.org>]

 A peer-reviewed technical conference. An unfettered festival of unconventional markup. Pointy-brackets, pointed questions, and sharp ideas. Nearly a week of geek speak.

 

              Extreme Markup Languages® 2005

                Produced by IDEAlliance

 

August 1-5, 2005

Hotel Europa, Montréal, Canada

 

Extreme Markup Languages is devoted to the theory and practice of markup languages from industrial, academic, and other points of view. It differs from other conferences partly in its unapologetic emphasis on technical subjects and problems on the frontiers of current practice, and partly in the participants it attracts. Extreme typically has an unusually high concentration of markup theorists computer scientists, linguists, taxonomists, publishers, lexicographers, typographers, software developers, librarians, and other people you want to spend time with - also anarchists, curmudgeons, and deep thinkers - and a lower than average concentration of managers in need of a clue.

 

Topics are likely to include:

  -  XML, XSLT, XSL-FO, XPath, RSS, OWL, XTM

  -  XML querying and searching

  -  Knowledge representation: Topic Maps, RDF graphs, and semantic

      networks

  -  Constraint languages: DTDs and schemas

  -  Metadata registries and unregistered metadata

  -  Anthropology of markup adoption patterns

  -  XML databases and content management systems

  -  Performance and other deployment issues

  -  Making the world mark-upable: ontologies, taxonomies, controlled

        vocabularies, and PSI

  -  The Next Big Edge Case

  -  Chicken lips, overlap, and other things you can't talk about

        without using your hands
