Co-Chairs: Mark Walter, Seybold Publications, and Tim
Bray, XML.com
GCA, OASIS and XML.com present XML Day, a forum focused on
XML and publishing.
Topics range from dynamically publishing information when you
want it to turning
that information into a profit center for your corporation.
High-profile industry
speakers provide insight into the new territory to be explored
and exploited using
XML. Join us and learn how XML is working today for publishing
on the Web for profit.
Moderator: Mark Walter, Seybold Publications
This session explains how you can use XML to automate and
enhance the Web publishing
process. Examples will be drawn from commercial publishing,
with working sites discussed
and demonstrated.
Moderator: Tim Bray, XML.com
Information & Content Exchange (ICE) is a general
framework that will help
publishers exchange content for sale over the Web. This
session will explain what
ICE is about, what it takes to implement, how it's working in
practice today and
the opportunities it presents to publishers. Updates on the
progress the working
group makes this summer will be included.
Moderator: Patrick Gannon, CommerceNet
The Web offers many opportunities to generate new revenues
from existing information
assets. What role will XML play in commerce? This session will
explain where XML
fits in the overall picture and then presents ways it can be
applied to the sale
of digital content.
Moderator: Peter Lamb, Andersen Consulting
Managing the various phases of the corporate publishing
cycle requires efficient
processes and effective, scalable tools. But the objective of
keeping a lid on costs
must be balanced against the need to maximum flexibility in
using information. This
is primarily achieved through the use of standard schemes for
creating and maintaining
information assets using structured information standards.
This philosophy has migrated
to Web-based applications and implementations and is driving
adoption of XML. Come
hear from corporate users who have implemented standards to
accomplish strategic
business objectives as well as specific project goals.
Moderators: Mark Walter, Seybold Publications; Tim Bray,
XML.com
The seminar will close with a chance to grill vendors on
their XML support and
strategies (or lack thereof!). Moderated by leading XML
analysts, the panel will
include vendors of leading tools, including browsers and
authoring/editing programs,
in an open forum designed to stimulate debate and provide
answers to questions too
seldom asked in public. This is a great chance to ask vendors
to clarify their positions
and defend their practices, as well as to hear them articulate
their plans for the
year ahead.
