Alexandria, Va. - April 20, 2005 - The opportunities and challenges
of "open data" on the Web will be the focus of a new educational
track at XTech 2005, the premier European conference for developers and
managers working with XML and Web technologies. XTech 2005 (formerly
XML Europe) is being held 24-27 May, 2005, at the Amsterdam RAI Centre,
Amsterdam, Netherlands.
"The Web may have first been the battleground for open standards, but
it's now the battleground for open data," says Edd Dumbill, XTech
2005 conference chair. "The democratization of publishing through the
Web presents tremendous opportunities, which our new "Open Data" track
will cover in extensive detail."
In the presentation "Towards a Science Commons," the Executive Director
of Science Commons, John Wilbanks, will introduce Creative Commons'
project for sharing knowledge among scientists, universities, and
industries. In "Open Street Maps and Spatial Data," Jo Walsh,
researcher with the co-author of "Mapping Hacks", will detail a project
to create copyright-free map data for the United Kingdom.

"Applicatio ns" track. In "Using W3C XForms in Office
Applications," Sun Microsystems (NASDAQ: SUNW) Software Engineer
Daniel Vogelheim will explain how OpenOffice.org is introducing new
technologies into the workplace, while Sun Technical Architect Michael
Brauer will discuss the new OASIS OpenDocument format.

contact book in xml - does anyone know the worldwide standard forthis one?

by: stapak | last post by:

I have a common (I guess) problem. I need to store my address book in format that would be independent on any e-mail clients - preferably in XML - to work sometimes on raw data. I tried to find something on the Web, however I did not find anything than some data converters and no common non-vendor standard. Does anyone know such XML-based open standard for storing and exchanging contact/address data? Regards,

The age old debate of Attributes vs. Elements

by: Novice | last post by:

Hi all, I have to decide on an XML structure going forward. The structure is going to house a large amount of data.

Multiple Assignment Evaluation Debate

by: berns | last post by:

Hi All, A coworker and I have been debating the 'correct' expectation of evaluation for the phrase a = b = c. Two different versions of GCC ended up compiling this as b = c; a = b and the other ended up compiling it as a = c; b = c. (Both with no optimizations enabled). How did we notice you may ask? Well, in our case 'b' was a memory mapped register that only has a select number of writable bits. He claims it has been a 'C...

OO debate: assuming type of containing object

by: John A Grandy | last post by:

I'm in a vigorous debate at my work regarding objects assuming knowledge of the type their containing object. This debate pertains specifically to ASP.NET, but I have decided to post in the C# forum because this is where most of the OO gurus hang out, and I view this as a fundamental issue of OO design. In ASP.NET, objects of type WebForm and UserControl have an intrinsic Page property which refers to their containing Page.
