Call for Participation -- Balisage: The Markup Conference 2009

[B Tommie Usdin <btusdin@mulberrytech.com>]

Montréal in August has always been the place and time
for serious markup geeks to meet. "Balisage 2009" and
the "International Symposium on Processing XML
Efficiently" continue the tradition.

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
marked-up information.
