Developers SIG
September 3, 2002
		
		Announcement
		At the September 3, 2002 meeting of the Developers SIG we will continue our investigation
		of XML with a demonstration of XML Spy, a popular tool used in XML application development.
		Keith Alcock will present a program from a recent development project that generates an XML
		document and then use XML Spy to create an XML Schema to validate it.  The document will
		then be "repurposed" and with the help of XSL and XML Spy be transformed into both
		HTML and SVG formats.
		Biography
		Keith Alcock has written software for fun and profit (often simultaneously) for over
		twenty years.  He currently works as a consultant for the likes of
		Language Technologies, Inc. with a preference for
		the area of computational linguistics.  He can be contacted at
		keith@keithalcock.com.
		Presentation
		
		In case you weren't able to attend the meeting or want to review parts of
		the presentation, you can take a look at an HTML version of the PowerPoint
		presentation entitled XML Documents,
		Schemas, and Transformations.  The presentation was fairly interactive,
		involving both software and audience participation.  That interaction cannot
		be reproduced here, unfortunately.  Please come to our meetings!
