> Dear Colleagues,
> 
> Frustrated with the tantalizing amount of TLA and FLA within the XML and
> Web Services Acronym Soup (XAS ;-) we started an open-source XML-based
> project named the "XML Acronym Demystifier" [1].
> 
> We decided to collect XML and Web Service related acronyms and
> abbreviations together with their explanation and short introductory
> texts stating that the thing identified by the acronym is all about.
> Additionally, every acronym is accompanied with at least a link to more
> information or directly to the originating spec if possible.
> 
> The project is strongly based on XML technology since the data source
> holding the acronyms and their explanations is a XML file. Furthermore,
> also the search engine available at [1] is purely XML-based since it is
> implemented as a XSLT transformation which is parametrized by the values
> supplied by the Web form.
> All sources (the XML source, all the transformations) are available
> online, as well as results suitable to be used inside the Babylon
> translater or a representation as Topic Map (RDF will shortly follow).
> 
> We invite all readers of XML-DEV to use the service and also to
> contribute to the project.
> 
> Best regards,
> Mario
