XML, a new start for the Web

This page provides pointers to material distributed or used during the Academic Training Lecture Series XML, a new start for the Web, that took place from 22-25 May 2000 at CERN.

The series consisted of three days of lectures reviewing various key components of the XML technology, while the last day was devoted to short presentations of projects that already use XML at CERN.

Material

• Lectures covering basic technologies
• RDF: a structured metadata model for Outreach (Roberta Faggian/ETT-DH)
• Oracle and XML (Maciej Marczukajtis/IT-DB)
• Source files needed for the XSLT examples in chapters 17 to 19.
• Real Video format of all four lectures

Here are a few basic Web pages that contain a lot of information about XML:

• Elliotte Rusty Harold's Cafe con Leche XML News and Resources
• Robin Cover's SGML and XML News plus the various links from that page. For instance, from the applications link you can find a list of editors, plus hundreds of institutions/organisations that use XML/SGML.
• <?XML.COM?> an XML newsletter sponsored by O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. It provides up-to-date coverage of what is going on in the XML arena. In particular, they have a very useful XML Resource Guide providing pointers to hundreds of tools, such as parsers, editors, viewers, information and implementations about various W3C and commercial standards. etc.
