Balisage: The Markup Conference 2022
Washington, DC
August 1 - 5, 2022
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 2022 program include: all-XSLT manuscript collation, readability of markup languages, Invisible XML (exploiting implicit structure in non-XML input), XSLT 4.0, long-term preservation using static HTML, getting XML tables and SVG charts out of Excel, and using XProc and XSLT to migrate early Docbook into new modular HTML. Also discussed will be metadata by and for creators, adapting markup vocabularies, using BITS (Book Interchange Tag Suite) for government documents, comparing OASIS CALS tables, designing languages for extensibility and forward compatibility, new XSLT function libraries, and serverless searching with XSLT and JavaScript.
