Registration opens for XML 2005; Respected XML Forum Delivers Practical 
Information That Attendees Can Put to Immediate Use within Their Organizations 

ALEXANDRIA, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 
21, 2005--Registration is now open for XML 2005, the largest independent 
conference for XML technologies and applications. XML 2005 is the latest in 
IDEAlliance's series of conferences devoted to the Extensible Markup Language, a 
worldwide standard that enables data compatibility across different computing 
systems. It will be held November 14-18 in Atlanta, Ga., 
USA. 

Experts, IT 
professionals and novices from around the world attend the XML Conferences to 
explore the latest technologies, applications and services that produce 
higher-quality data, increase production speed, and save money. This year's 
event will feature nearly two-dozen tutorials, approximately 125 presentation 
and discussion sessions, interoperability demonstrations, and an exhibition of 
products and services from leading vendors. 

Scheduled 
keynote speakers for the five-day program are David Campbell, Microsoft SQL 
Server general manager for data engine and access technologies; Steven G. 
Harris, vice president of Oracle's Java Platform Group; Jim Hendler, University 
of Maryland professor and director of semantic web and agent technology at the 
Maryland Information and Network Dynamics Laboratory; David Megginson, principal 
of Megginson Technologies, a leading XML consultancy; and Robert Picciano, vice 
president of data management for IBM Corporation. 

The source 
for everything XML 

XML 2005 
has something for anyone interested or involved in XML, from introductory 
tutorials to case studies to technical and theoretical sessions. Select 
presentations are geared to distinct application areas, such as government, 
military, financial services, publishing, legal and pharmaceutical. 

"XML has 
gone through the hype phase to be an accepted and expected part of today's 
technology infrastructure," says Lauren Wood, senior technical program 
manager at Sun Microsystems, Inc. and XML 2005 Conference chair. "XML 2005 
brings together experts, fellow professionals, and product vendors to give 
attendees the resources they need to transform data management within their 
organizations." 

Elaine 
Keagle, technical lead of the web services team for a county school system in 
the U.S., is a prime example of someone 
who put her XML Conference experience to immediate use. 

"My team 
used what I learned at the XML Conference to provide an entirely new plan of 
production for both the print and online versions of our course bulletin," she 
says. "The project has been a success in every aspect. It has cut down on 
production time, reduced errors, and allowed for multiple outputs from a single 
source. We marvel that in a span of a year we were able to complete such a 
successful project using technologies new to us."
