[ANN] Late Breaking News added to Balisage 2012 Program

Balisage 2012 Program Finalized

When the regular (peer-reviewed) part of the Balisage 2012 program was scheduled, a few slots were
reserved for presentation of "Late breaking" material.  These presentations have now been selected and
added to the program.

Topics added include:

-  making robust and multi-platform ebooks
-  creating representative documents from large document collections
-  validating RESTful services using XProc, XSLT, and XSD
-  XML for design-based (e.g. magazine) publishing
-  provenance in XSLT transformation (tracking what XSLT does to documents)
-  literate programming
-  managing the many XML-related standards and specifications
-  leveraging XML for web applications

The program already included talks about  adding RDF to TEI documents, compression of XML documents,
exploring large XML collections, Schematron, relation of XML to JSON, overlap, higher-order functions
in XSLT, the balance between XML and non-XML notations, and many other topics. Now it is a real must for
anyone who thinks deeply about markup.  

Balisage is the XML Geek-fest; the annual gathering of people who design markup and markup-based
applications; who develop XML specifications, standards, and tools; the people who read and write,
books about publishing technologies in general and XML in particular; and super-users of XML and related
technologies. You can read about the Balisage 2011 conference at http://www.balisage.net.
