Recent developments in standards for electronic publishing
21 January 1999 - 21 January 1999
France
A workshop on the recent developments in standards for electronic publishing will be held in Paris, France, on 21 and 22 January 1999. This will form part of the Information Engineering concertation activities (IESERV) and will be sponsored by EDIFRANCE and AFNOR (French standardisation bodies) through the GISEDI project. This project aims to demonstrate electronic applications and services for faster, more effective exchange of geographical data between suppliers and users, and is funded within the EU's Telematics Applications programme.
The workshop will cover issues related to metadata, in the context of electronic publishing and intellectual property rights, indexing and retrieval, interoperability, electronic commerce and security. The overlap with Extensible Markup Language (XML) and related processing systems for metadata will also be discussed. Standards such as CORBA and JAVA to aid distributed processing will provide the focus for discussions during the workshop, as well as other standards for creating web statistics that will underlie the emerging digital information society.
The workshop will also cover the development of new content standards for virtual environments which are currently being developed (VRML,IEEE DIS) and extensions to existing foundations such as MPEG (MPEG7), as well as retrieval standards such as Z39.50 and Resource Description Framework (RDF).
Projects which are not directly concerned with developing standards may be of interest to the workshop. Presentations from participants involved in other Telematics Applications projects, describing their experience on the application of standards in their projects or organisations are currently sought by the organisers of the workshop.
