SGML
Document Developer Workshop
===========================
ISO 8879 SGML is the only international standard for defining document
markup languages that allows work across tools, applications, and
operating systems. SGML has many important implications for anyone
involved in technical communications.
Workshop attendees will learn what SGML is all about, who is using SGML,
what SGML can do for your organization, and how to implement SGML.
Additionally, DDW attendees will be able to:
* Get hands-on experience with document analysis and DTD creation.
* Discuss on-line document delivery and various strategies for
extending the value of the documents you create today.
* Learn about success stories, as well as various industry initiatives
for SGML standardization and how your company can get involved.
We will bring you information about conversion strategies, grass-roots
and upper management support building, and ways to realize incremental
cost benefits during the SGML implementation phase.

This workshop consists of three and a half days of hands-on experience
