Subject: Call for Participation -- Balisage: The Markup Conference 2009
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2009 11:17:14 -0400
From: B Tommie Usdin <btusdin@mulberrytech.com>

Montr�al in August has always been the place and time for serious
markup geeks to meet. "Balisage 2009" and the "International
Symposium on Processing XML Efficiently" continue the tradition.

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.
