SGML User Group Finland Chairman Kimmo Elovainio ******************************************************* SGML User Group Finland 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.
