Abstract
Evan Owens, the symposium chair, will introduce the context of up-translations and up-transformations, identify critical issues in workflow solutions, and summarize the themes and topics to be covered by the conference speakers and in the demos. Content enhancement by up-transformation and/or up-translation has historically been an important task and component of markup language technology. Requirements keep evolving; this has been and will remain an important and perpetual topic.
