Biography
Dorothy Hoskins is an XML evangelist, always learning new things to help her play with XML, but her true love is the development of processes that tie together various applications for publishing XML to both print and web.
Currently Dorothy manages XML processes for FDA-regulated content in 17 languages for a medical devices company. Besides creating server-side XSLT for a global corporation's website, she has created publishing workflows for importing database-derived XML into Adobe's FrameMaker and InDesign CS2 products. She has presented numerous times on XML and XSL for the IDEAlliance conferences (XML-in-Practice 2008, XML 2007), Society for Technical Communication and SUNY/Higher Ed groups.
She resides with her family in western New York, where she finds the weather a refreshing change from her native Florida.
