Subject: Announcement: XML Acronym Demystifier
> Dear Colleagues, > > Frustrated with the tantalizing amount of TLA and FLA within the XML and > Web Services Acronym Soup (XAS ;-) we started an open-source XML-based > project named the "XML Acronym Demystifier" [1]. > > We decided to collect XML and Web Service related acronyms and > abbreviations together with their explanation and short introductory > texts stating that the thing identified by the acronym is all about. > Additionally, every acronym is accompanied with at least a link to more > information or directly to the originating spec if possible. > > The project is strongly based on XML technology since the data source > holding the acronyms and their explanations is a XML file. Furthermore, > also the search engine available at [1] is purely XML-based since it is > implemented as a XSLT transformation which is parametrized by the values > supplied by the Web form. > All sources (the XML source, all the transformations) are available > online, as well as results suitable to be used inside the Babylon > translater or a representation as Topic Map (RDF will shortly follow). > > We invite all readers of XML-DEV to use the service and also to > contribute to the project. > > Best regards, > Mario >
