Dear All a reminder of the course below for which there are now only a few
places left:
Publish and be Dammed!
Publishing EAD (Encoded Archival Description) finding aids on the Internet
with XSL Stylesheets
University of Warwick: 20 January 2004
Following the successful EAD Training Workshops, the EAD/Data Exchange Group
has arranged the above workshop as the logical next step. It is designed for
those with experience of EAD encoding who wish to look at the options for
publishing EAD finding aids on the Internet. As such it may be suitable for
archivists as well as technical professionals working in archives.
The aim of the workshop is to provide a hands-on introduction to the design
of XSLT stylesheets for the transformation and presentation of EAD XML
finding aids as HTML.
The session will include:
* an introductory discussion of the design approaches for publishing
EAD documents
* a detailed look at the anatomy of an XSLT stylesheet
* a look at the role of XSLT templates
* development of XSLT stylesheets that allow control of the elements
to be displayed and their order
* a concluding look at advanced techniques such as named template,
non-standard extensions and the generation of multiple output files
Each participant will have a dedicated PC installed with appropriate
software and training materials.
The course will be led by Richard Light, an expert in the publication of XML
documents who has designed and given similar courses to other groups of
information professionals.
Places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.
A maximum of 2 people will be allowed from each repository.
