I'm wondering whether my survey of XML standards was placed on a library science class reading list, because I happened to notice some traces in my vanity search feed (yes, I have one, what of it, thou false modestus?):
- "Week Five Readings~ XML to the max...", by DigitizedLiz
- "Week 5: XML Galore!", by Katrina
- "Week 5 Readings", by "Carrie"
- "Reading Notes : Week 5 : XML", by Shane Donaldson
And much more along this vein. Doesn't look like splog droppings. Anyway, I hope they're learning something from the articles, which are getting a bit long in the tooth.
- The core standards
- XML processing standards
- The most important vocabularies
- Detailed cross-reference
More importantly, some of the students seemed to expect from these a general introduction to XML. Bad choice of article for that. The above are detailed references for folks well into the swing of things XML. My publisher's (IBM developerWorks's) "New to XML" page is a good starting point for XML n00bs. After that, it's worth checking out my updated index of XML standards, which is based on the above four articles, but updated and differently organized.
