Contents
As a Meta-Language, XML provides the base for a lot of "instances", that are
specific (markup) languages. Examples of those are XHTML (as a hypertext markup
language), XSLT (as a markup for a rule-based programming language),
XQueryX (as an XML syntax of XQuery) and RDF/XML (to provide RDF data in the
(Semantic) Web); in contrast to ad hoc XML markups for certain domains like the
Mondial XML instance. In this
seminar, some XML-based markup languages will be discussed in detail:
Form of the Seminar
The intention of the seminar is to get an overview of the languages and a
feeling how to use them (note: the supervisors of the seminar have a good knowledge
on XML, but not on the above specific languages - we are also interested
to get some new knowledge). The outcome should be in a form that can have
some influence e.g. on BSc/MSc Theses in the application areas of the
studies (i.e., to convince people there to use up-to-date technology).
For each topic, the following has to be done:
- a written tutorial-style paper that gives an overview of the language
concepts and syntax (that has been tested with appropriate tools),
- evaluate some tools, write a report (installation, functionality,
usability, ...) [optionally german or english]
- prepare an illustrative medium-size case study using one or more tools
(optionally: comparatively)
- a presentation giving the tutorial and showing a demo of how to
use it (about 90 minutes incl. discussion; optionally german or english).
