You will learn what structuring data can mean to your organization; how to model any problem using the new XML constructs.

Analyst / Programmer with some data modeling practice.

The sequence of features making up XML will be examined under the following aspects: theoretical approach (what does the standard state?), practical examples (how can I use this?) and exercises using a provided editing tool (actual structures and data will be created).

Immediately operational in implementing XML based solutions requiring access to all features defined by the W3C.

If your organization owns / manages structured information, you will be able to transform those data exactly as desired by the end-user.

Consultant / Analyst / Programmer with a basic knowledge of CSS.

The following aspects of XSL-T will be examined: theory (what does the recommendation declare?), practice (what does it mean to me?) and exercises using a provided transformation tool (actual data will be transformed).

Long term investment, the XSL-T W3C recommendation will let your designers create transformations exploiting intrinsic properties of the data rather than overloading them with external constraints.

The mysterious ISO 8879 will have no more secret for those who attended this training.

Analyst / Programmer with a sound data modeling practice or XML experience.

SGML will be completely dismantled to highlight the many ingenious concepts making up this standard. At all levels, three views will be given: theory as defined by the ISO standard, actual situations requiring the use of such features and practice as it can be daily used in an SGML editor.

Very complex data models - that can not easily be covered by XML - can be processed with the help of SGML.
