XTech 2007 is less than a month away! I’m going to be presenting on Creole: Validating Overlapping Markup in the Core Technologies track on Wednesday 16th May at 16:00. Yes, I know it’s really an Extreme paper, but (a) I’m not going to Extreme this year, (b) I’ll be reaching out to a slightly wider audience, and (c) I just cannot wait any longer to talk about Creole!

The only trouble is: how am I going to make overlapping markup interesting to all the Web 2.0 geeks? More to the point: how do I explain the elegance of Brzozowski derivatives without losing at least half the audience?

Re: XTech Preparation

good to hear that there will be some non-xml stuff as well. felix michel and i will present at xtech 2007 as well, talking about Data Model Perspectives for XML Schema. that discussion includes some ideas about brzozowski derivatives in the context of xml schema, and in general the question how the information in an xml schema can be made accessible in a variety of ways, each of them being suited for different use cases.

Re: XTech Preparation

I’m glad you flagged that up: I’ll definitely come along to that talk. I’ll be interested in how you deal with XML Schema data structures being graphs rather than trees when you expose it as XML. And implementation via XSLT 2.0 functions too! Fascinating. (BTW, I imagine that you know C. Michael Sperberg-McQueen’s Extreme 2005 paper Applications of Brzozowski derivatives to XML Schema processing, but just thought I’d mention it in case not.)
