Patrick

I just want to pass along the following information about two upcoming 
workshops that will be held at the ARL offices in DC in late winter and late 
spring 2015

If you have any questions about the content of the workshop, feel free to email 
Matt Gibson (mgib...@virginia.edumailto:mgib...@virginia.edu) or Chris 
Ruotolo (cj...@virginia.edumailto:cj...@virginia.edu).

An Introduction to XML and XML Applications
March 11-13, 2015, in Washington, DC
(see http://www.arl.org/events/upcoming-events/event/132#.VJL47kAFMAA for more 
information and registration)

Taught by experienced XML 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 is designed for the relative newcomer to XML. The workshop 
will be a mix of lecture and hands-on demonstration and experimentation. Some 
topics the workshop will cover include:

  *   Differences between XML and HTML and SGML
  *   Writing well-formed XML
  *   Writing and validating XML with DTDs, Schema, and Schematron
  *   XML Namespaces

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 1.0 and 2.0, including:

  *   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.
