XML
Fun with XML by Eric Lease Morgan
Outlines the process I used to learn a bit about XML, Extensible Markup Language. It is presented here in an effort to share my experiences as well as provide me with the means to articulate what I learned.
Topics include:
- rules of markup
- syntax versus semantics
- creating your own markup
- transforming XML through XSLT
- RDF
- OAI
- using XML to share bibliographic data
- XML generated from an HTTP server with Cocoon and/or AxKit
- Formatting Objects to create PDF output
- embedding XML in TIFF files
Thanks to Ian Fairclough for pointing this out to me.
