Schedule: Core technology sessions

We will discuss LINQ to XML, an in-memory XML programming API designed to take advantage of the latest .NET Framework language innovations, as well as, incubation efforts for post-Orcas technology. Read more.

XML Schema not only defines validation grammars: It encodes structural metadata. Appropriate data model representations enable exploiting this data. We present a prototype to demonstrate the benefits. Read more.

I'll demonstrate and explain a new ultra-simple protocol for augmenting search results with related content. We send the search results, asking the providers to add what they know about the items. Read more.

This presentation describes how to use the W3C's Internationalization Tag Set to on XML data to allow for a more efficient and streamlined localization process. Read more.

This paper describes Creole: a new schema language, built on RELAX NG, for validating overlapping markup languages. Read more.

Classical schema languages like W3C XML Schema or RELAX NG are not flexible enough for validation of compound documents (CD). Validation of CD is best handled using new language called NVDL. Read more.

'skimming' is an approach to building loosely-coupled applications that can run on any server. Combining XForms, REST and XQuery, application development and deployment becomes extremely fast. Read more.

Google Base, a public data warehouse, is free to use and it has an API based on GData. I'll cover querying and inserting new items and discuss how Base can serve as a back end for mashups. Read more.

The web today has many text formats for data, markup, querying and schema languages as alternatives to XML. This presentation discusses this trend using a case study of the Turtle RDF syntax. Read more.

To define an XML language, first we map from XML to abstract data model. We can formalise this step using UML, OWL and GRDDL. The new XML Processing Model language is used to illustrate. Read more.

Since GData was launched a year ago, several properties supporting this data exchange format were released. The talk will showcase the benefits of having a uniform data access API on the web. Read more.

This paper explores the requirements for managing graphs in XML, proposes several enhancements to the schema and query standards, and discusses various implementation and optimization challenges. Read more.

This session answers two questions: Are REST Web Services inherently insecure? How can a security model apply to both SOAP and REST Web Services? Read more.

We present a low-entry-barrier P2P Web2.0 open-data computation platform based on Web arrays: annotated collections of Web resources in Atom, served by a REST protocol, and processed by XML pipelines. Read more.

A working stylesheet may be too slow or incorrect. This presentation surveys the profilers, unit test frameworks and other tools for ensuring the quality of your XSLT. Read more.

In this session we will describe a specialized search engine that allows to find XSLT transformations matching some constraints, like the input and output vocabularies processed by the stylesheet. Read more.
