It's a new year and time to plan for Balisage 2012! Balisage is where people
interested in descriptive markup meet each year in August for informed
technical discussion, occasionally impassioned debate, good coffee, and the
incomparable ambience of one of North America's greatest cities, Montreal. We
welcome anyone interested in discussing the use of descriptive markup to build
strong, lasting information systems.
Practitioner or theorist, tool-builder or tool-user, student or lecturer -- you
are invited to submit a paper proposal for Balisage 2012. As always, papers at
Balisage can address any aspect of the use of markup and markup languages to
represent information and build information systems. Possible topics include
but are not limited to:
* XML and related technologies
* Non-XML markup languages
* Implementation experience with XML parsing, XSLT processors, XQuery
processors,
XML databases, Topic Map engines, XProc integrations, or any
markup-related technology
* Semantics, overlap, and other complex fundamental issues for markup
languages
* Case studies of markup design and deployment
* Quality of information in markup systems
* JSON and XML
* Efficiency of Markup Software
* Markup systems in and for the mobile web
* The future of XML and of descriptive markup in general
* Interesting applications of markup
In addition, please consider becoming a Peer Reviewer. Reviewers play a
critical role towards the success of Balisage. They review blind submissions --
on topics that interest them -- for technical merit, interest, and
applicability. Your comments and recommendations can assist the Conference
Committee in creating the program for Balisage 2012!
