SGML/XML'97 DETAILS
THE CONFERENCE
SGML/XML'97 is expected to be the world's largest SGML
conference to date, featuring the largest Exhibition of
SGML and XML products ever assembled.
TALKS
Are 30 minutes long, followed by 10 minutes for questions.
Presentations must be content- or technically-oriented;
product or service descriptions or advertisements are not
appropriate on the technical program. All proposals will
be submitted for blind review to a Peer Review Panel to
aid in selection. Talks will be chosen based on technical
merit, interest, applicability, and how well they fit the
technical program.
All presenters must agree to: give their presentation and
answer questions in English, follow the SGML/XML'97
speaker and audio-visual guidelines, and register for the
conference. A speaker discount will be available for one
presenter per talk, if the full paper is received on
schedule.
All talks will be published in the print and electronic
conference proceedings. Papers will be submitted in SGML
using the SGML/XML'97 conference paper DTD.
To get a good idea of the range of presentations given at
SGML'96, browse http://www.sil.org/sgml/gcaProc96.html,
which contains the abstracts of 80 of last year's
presentations.

sgml97@mulberrytech. People who do not have access to the
Web or cannot create a proposal in SGML should contact
