Technical Writing and XML: Reconciling
Editorial License with Structured Markup
Presented by: Douglas Rudder,
Facts and Comparisons
In writing reference material, consistency of organization
and presentation is key. If the same information is presented in a consistent
order and style throughout the publication or information set, it enhances the
readability and usability of the material for the consumer. Ease of use is vital.
XML provides a means to assist in the standardization of reference material from
both an organizational and a semantic/content-oriented standpoint. Standardization
based on structure and content enhances the potential for reuse of the XML-tagged
information for both print and electronic delivery. This presentation will address
the relationship between structured markup and the authoring/editing of reference
material, with discussion of potential conflicts and methods for resolving those
conflicts.

Electronic Publishing with XML:
The XML 2001 Conference Proceedings
Presented by: John McKeown, deepX Ltd.
Electronic Publishing has always been regarded as
one of the obvious applications of XML. Like its predecessor
SGML, XML allows content to be stored in a media and
device independent manner, from which specific publication
formats can be generated. It should come as no surprise
that the Proceedings for this XML Conference are created
by an XML based publishing process. This presentation
examines Electronic Publishing with XML, using the XML
2001 Conference Proceedings (created by deepX) as an
example.

Getting XML from a Non-XML Workforce
Presented by: Jabin D. White, Elsevier Health Services
Publishers often
face a "Catch 22" when dealing with XML. They recognize the positive
benefits of XML, but they face a workflow that has been set up and perfected around
the printed page, not intelligent markup. Do you have to break one method to embrace
the other? A tough dilemma to solve, but not impossible. Find out more during
this session. PB

Bringing (Massive) Model-based
XML Specifications to Ballot
Presented
by: Liora Alschuler, Consultant
Virtually
every industry sector is turning to the XML standardization
process to provide coherence to their online transactions
and electronic commerce. Health Level Seven (HL7) has
just brought to ballot a comprehensive and cohesive
set of message specifications derived through a rigourous
methodology from a core UML model. The ballot is based
on a single Reference Information Model (RIM) and contains
over 275 specific message types. These message types
support over 250 trigger events used in over 360 specified
interactions involving 190 application roles and using
over 30 "common" message element types and supported
by over 150 story-boards. Unlike the approach of some
standards groups, this project is not an XML-ification
of a previous EDI standard, rather, it is a from-the-ground-up,
model-based approach to a comprehensive and maintainable
set of specifications.
While
the Reference Information Model and methodology have
been in development since 1996 (pre-dating XML -- the
original concept was to develop an industry-specific
exchange syntax), the actual ballotable specifications
were written and published in just four months.
This
presentation will review the HL7 objectives and methodology
concentrating on "lessons learned" and open questions.
If time permits, it will also review the ballot publication
process which used XML extensively.
