Posting for a colleague - please excuse cross-postings. There is still time to register for the “Transforming Library Metadata with XSLT” workshop sponsored and hosted by the Association of Research Libraries. The deadline for registration is April 20. Transforming Library Metadata with XSLT
May 20–22, 2015, in Washington, DC (see http://www.arl.org/events/upcoming-events/event/133#.VJL6HUAFMAA for more information and registration) Taught by experienced XML/XSLT instructors and developers Matthew Gibson, director of digital initiatives at the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities at the University of Virginia, and Christine Ruotolo, digital services manager for humanities and social sciences at the University of Virginia Library, this three-day workshop will explore XSLT with a specific focus on the role of XSLT in digital library projects and an emphasis on practical tasks such as metadata crosswalking. The workshop will be a mix of lecture and hands-on demonstration and experimentation. Lectures, exercises, and projects will allow participants to gain experience using some of the more powerful components of XSLT, including: Navigating the XML tree with XPath 2.0 Working with recursion, modes, and named templates Using and creating functions Combining source documents and creating multiple result documents Sorting and grouping data Using branching and control structures This workshop is designed for information professionals who have a good understanding of XML and work with it frequently. While some understanding of and experience with XSLT is a plus, this is not a requirement. If you have any questions about the content of the workshop, feel free to email myself ([email protected]) or Chris Ruotolo ([email protected]). If you have questions about workshop logistics, schedule, etc. please contact Angela Pappalardo at [email protected].
