Call for Participation -- Balisage: The Markup Conference

Montréal in August has always been the place and time
for serious markup geeks to meet, and this year there's
an all-new conference for them.

Balisage is a peer reviewed conference designed 
to meet the needs of markup theoreticians and 
practitioners who are pushing the boundaries of 
the field. It's all about the markup: how to 
create it; what it means; hierarchies and 
overlap; modeling; taxonomies; transformation; 
query, searching, and retrieval; presentation and 
accessibility; making systems that make markup 
dance (or dance faster to a different tune in a 
smaller space) - in short, changing the world and 
the web through the power of marked-up 
information.

It's an XML Conference. It's an XSL Conference. 
It's a conference about SGML, LMNL, XSL-FO, XTM, 
RDF, XQuery, SVG, MathML, OWL, UBL, XSD, TexMECS, 
RNG, and a lot more. We welcome papers about 
topic maps, document modeling, markup of 
overlapping structures, ontologies, metadata, 
content management, and other markup-related 
topics at Balisage.
