Balisage: The Markup Conference 2020
Washington, DC
July 27 - 31, 2020
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 markup.
Topics discussed in papers on the 2020 program include: XSLT regular expressions for Unicode, making high-quality Microsoft Word from XML, the expressive powers of XSD schema patterns, markup as a writing discipline, converting typesetting codes to structured XML, XSpec unit testing, IDE code, completion from XML documentation, statistical plotting with XSLT and SVG, XML for art, pipelined XML transformations, and what can SVG learn from OHCO. Also discussed will be be the use of declarative markup for improving the accessibility of documents, microrevisions in authorial manuscripts, recipes (a 30-year-old promise), measuring document similarity, accessibility metadata statements, a spell-checking framework for custom dictionaries, cybersecurity documents, and redesigning the Balisage Proceeding website for accessibility.
