The recurring search for an XML version of CSS
by Bryan Rasmussen
There are various reasons why you might want a CSS version of XML, for me it was because I was programming for Cross-media generation and I wanted a way to reuse definitions easily in one format with other formats, so I wanted an XML format that I could reuse. This made it easier to control that presentations of the data in XHTML, PDF, Ebook, or Microsoft Help or Word files all had the same styling where relevant, or to do calculations from a base style that altered specific to the media. |
anyURI and linking in XML
by Bryan Rasmussen
XML Schema could be used to identify nodes in the document as only holding anyURI values. The drawback is that identifying something as an anyURI does not specify it will be used as a link. The other drawback is there are a lot of schemas out there were link elements should have been identified as being of type anyURI where they are still of type string. |
371 MB XML file from Google full of bookish goodness
by Bryan Rasmussen
on the one hand Google has compiled a database of all U.S books published between 1923 and 1963 that have lost copyright protection due to not being renewed which is wonderful, and on the other hand they have made it available as a 371 MB XML file which is not so wonderful, because hey 371 MB XML file!! |
Is arbitrary XML on the web ever going to happen?
by Philip Fennell
Search engine indexers are aware of (X)HTML and know what to look for when indexing those documents, but if the indexers were tuned to look for RDFa and WAI-ARIA Roles, would the semantics of the document be quite so important? If arbitrary XML on the web is ever going to happen then machine-readable annotations will be an important driving factor for content indexing, and the explosion in client-side XSLT that will follow. |

Understanding XML: Thoughts on Agile Schema Development
by Kurt Cagle
Schema design may seem an odd candidate for consideration as an agile technology, yet with a slight change of emphasis (from agile "development" to agile "design") agile techniques can actually make schema development reasonable and even ... fun. |
Mastering XML Transformations
by Laura Adair
XSLT, Second Edition — After months of anticipation and delay, the W3C finally released the XSLT 2.0 standard in January 2007. The updated edition of this book offers practical, real-world examples that demonstrate how you can apply XSLT stylesheets to XML data using either the new specification, or the older XSLT 1.0 standard. Want to find out how the 2.0 specification improves on the old? This book will explain. Learn more. |
XRX: XQueries in eXist
by Jeni Tennison
I want to explore the XRX (XForms, REST, XQuery) architecture, so I’ve set myself the challenge of implementing a social bookmarking web service modelled on del.icio.us as described in Chapter 7 of Leonard Richardson’s and Sam Ruby’s RESTful Web Services,... |
XRX: Mapping URLs with Orbeon Forms
by Jeni Tennison
This is part 2 of a series exploring implementing a RESTful social bookmarking web service using the XRX (XForms, REST, XQuery) architecture. In the last part I looked at how to set up eXist with a bunch of XML and... |
A standard for openness?
by Rick Jelliffe
I suggest..an ISO standard giving definitions for different kinds of openness. Openness is a motherhood term now, so of course there will be surprises and debate about what kind of motherhood we actually mean. My opinion, for what it is worth, is that RAND-z and RF is necessary but not sufficient for openness, and that governments embarking on an open standard policy need to put in place some patent-limitation plan which would bring existing, market dominating, royalty-bearing standards into the RAND-z fold by, say, 2010. This necessarily will mean that some successful consortia and even some SCs within ISO will have the ground cut out from under them |
Assertions in new XSD 1.1 draft
by Rick Jelliffe
The new XSD 1.1 draft has some revisions to the assertions system. The traditional argument against XSD 1.0 was that it had too little bang per buck: 1.1 has more bang, but more buck. |
AtomServer helps serve up AtomPub
by Taylor Cowan
The most interesting development within the XML world of late is AtomPub. It abstracts the details (however simple they may be) of REST and provides them in a well specified protocol. Instead of writing home grown RESTfull web services, merely... |

What are they so scared of?
by Rick Jelliffe
Why are these people so scared of openness? This may seem a strange and provocative thing to say. Surely ODF is the open technology and OOXML is the proprietary technology? Surely we know this because "ISO" is the organization which is just the puppet of MicroSoft while OASIS is a bastion of community openness! |
