State of the art on streaming
Why W3C XProc, W3C XSLT WGs and ISO SC34 WG 1 are looking closely to streaming
It's now 10 years that XML is out and is now mainstream. Eventually, XML is perceived for its value (Unicode, Structure, Extensibility) and not only for something heavy and difficult to use. XML needs still to gain in its capacity to be processed more naturally as a stream of information.
After a short presentation of where we come from, we will take a look very closely at where are the work around streaming processing, and especially from the XSLT WG, XProc WG and ISO DSDL; We will also see how some interesting approach are trying to find workarounds on streaming and propose some new area of use for XML.
