SGML Finland'96 - Call for Papers
Deadline 20 June 1996
What is SGML?
SGML is defined as the ISO 8879 standard "Information
Processing -- Text and Office Systems -- Standard Generalized
Markup Language (SGML)". The standard was released in 1986.
SGML is a system-independent metalanguage. SGML can be used
to describe and create documents that are not dependent on
any hardware, software, formatter, or operating system. The
SGML data can be produced, used and distributed independently
between different systems and applications that conform to
this standard.
As a descriptive coding language, SGML separates the logical
structure of the document from its presentation. This is
implied in a document type definition (DTD) which describes
the data representation components, such as the elements and
their relationships.
What is SGML Finland'96?
The SGML User Group Finland invites users and developers of
SGML to give a presentation at its first SGML seminar, SGML
Finland'96. Presentations may focus on management, business,
application, advanced or introductory issues. The other, not
so closely SGML-related issues such as WWW, HTML or Java, are
also welcome. Presentations will be categorized according to
the topic. The SGML Finland'96 serves as a meeting point to
share information, and ideas with people who have implemented
SGML for a longer period of time, who are planning to use
SGML, or develope tools for SGML.
The papers may cover, however not limited to, any of the
following topics:
- publishing in SGML/HTML
- conversions to/from SGML
- producing SGML documents
- managing SGML material
- SGML on the WWW
- SGML/HTML techniques
- HyTime - the standard for hypermedia
- World-Wide Web
- applications
- case studies
- SGML/HTML tools
In other words, any interesting topics could be offered
during the Call for Papers phase. All the accepted papers
will be published in the seminar proceedings.
If you are interested to give a paper at the SGML Finland'96,
please submit the following information:
- title of paper
- name of author(s) and contact information, including fax
and email addresses, if available
- the author's biography (approx 50 words)
Submit also the following:
