[XML4Lib] xml workshop

[Eric Lease Morgan]

For those of you in Florida, if there are any, I will be teaching a  
hands-on workshop about XML for SEFLIN on Friday, June 26:

   XML - Way of Encoding [1]

   Designed for librarians, this workshop introduces participants to
   the extensible markup language (XML) through numerous examples,
   demonstrations, and structured hands-on exercises. Through the
   process you will be able to evaluate the uses of XML for making
   your data and information more accessible to people as well as
   computers. By the end of the workshop you will have acquired a
   thorough introduction to XML and be able to:

     * List seven rules governing the syntax of XML documents

     * Create your very own XML markup language

     * Write XML documents using a plain text editor and
       validate them using a Web Browser

     * Create simple XML documents using a number of standard
       XML vocabularies

     * Transform XML documents into other XML formats, plain
       text, or database (SQL) files using XSLT, and finally

     * Articulate why XML is important for libraries

   This workshop is designed for the novice and moderately
   experienced computer user. No Charge for SEFLIN Members.

The workshop itself is based on the something I have done a number of  
times before, and is freely available online. [2]

The more the merrier, but space is limited. FYI.
