Participants will use XML and XML technologies in the creation of a prototype digital publication. Topics to be covered include: 1. XML: what is it? how does it differ from SGML and HTML? 2. Working with content models (Schemas and DTDs) and methods of using them when constructing and validating XML content; 3. Implementing methods of content formatting, transformation, and delivery (including XSL and cascading stylesheets) so the XML we build can be delivered, read, and used in a variety of formats; 4.
