SGML Users Group Finland invites users and developers of XML/SGML and XML/SGML-related systems to give a presentation at its fourth annual seminar, XML Finland '99, renamed to reflect the growing interest in XML. Vendors and developers are also invited to present their tools and application demos in the exhibition area.

XML Finland '99 serves as a meeting point for all interested people from experienced professionals to new users of XML or SGML. Presentations may focus on new media, structured document management, electronic publishing, World Wide Web applications, electronic commerce, industrial applications, business issues, or advanced or introductory XML/SGML/HTML/WWW issues.

Last year's seminar in Jyväskylä gathered a crowd of 200 attendees making the event a very successful one, thus continuing the tradition set by earlier seminars in Espoo and Vaasa. Ten leading Finnish and international companies took part in the exhibition. We anticipate that the popularity of the event will keep on growing.

What is XML?

The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simplified dialect of SGML. It combines the simplicity of the HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and the flexibility of SGML, and is intended to make the distribution of structured documents easier on the World Wide Web.

What is SGML?

The Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) is an international standard (ISO 8879) for describing the content of documents. SGML data is vendor, platform and media independent, and can be used and reused in a wide variety of applications. As a descriptive coding language, SGML separates the logical structure of the document from its presentation.

What is SGML Users Group Finland?

The SGML Users Group Finland is a non-profit association the purpose of which is to provide knowledge about SGML and related standards. It also serves as the Finnish Chapter of the International SGML Users' Group (ISUG). For more information, see http://www.remtec.fi/sgmlugfi/ and http://www.isgmlug.org/.
