The Extensible Markup Language (XML) describes a class of data objects called XML documents which are stored on computers, and partially describes the behavior of programs that process these objects. XML is an application profile or restricted form of SGML (see XML - Questions & Answers ). The goal of XML is to enable generic SGML to be served, received, and processed on the Web in the way that is now possible with HTML. XML has been designed for ease of implementation and for interoperability with both SGML and HTML.
The business case for SGML has been radically changed over the past year by the advent of the Web and now the arrival of XML. This conference will be the place for people who need to sell SGML; this includes not only the marketing and sales staff of SGML and document management vendors and service providers, but also those who must make a business case for SGML within their own organization.
There will be technical briefings on how to use the Web with SGML and on the XML standard, but the conference will focus on Business Issues and Case Studies.
Tim Bray and Jon Bosak, innovators of XML, are serving as conference advisors.
This will be a two-day conference with a day of tutorials. Topics to be pursued:
