Balisage: The Markup Conference 2019

Washington, DC

July 30 - August 2, 2019


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 2019 program include: languages for markup and text processing, multitasking in XForms, loose-leaf publishing, data longevity, data interchange, Invisible XML, sustainability, the Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL), SVG, arbitrary constraints, parsing in XSLT and XQuery, successes and failures, validation, metaschemas, markup vocabularies, the TEI critical apparatus model, TEI, digital editions, punchlists, tokenization of XML, inscription, the Model-Value-Controller model in XForms, theory of parsing, encoding practices, Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP), Brzozowski derivatives, XForms, SGML, textual analysis, standoff markup, declarative programming, XQuery and XSLT, eXist-db, data conversion, Web sockets, the DITA Open Toolkit, JSON Schema, GUIs in the X-stack, Earley parsing, CSS, YAML, rules, XML user interfaces, testability, XSL area tree, DITA specialization, expresssions, and XML everywhere.
