Web Standards Briefing [C2]

Abstract

HTML, XHTML, XML, CSS, XLST, RDF, Schemas, etc. Are you finding it all too confusing? Do you find it difficult to keep up-to-date with the latest Web standards? This session will provide an update on Web standards. The talk will describe the initial Web architecture, review its limitations and then discuss a number of new Web standards and protocol developments.
The talk will give a technical overview (of standards such as XML, XSLT, SVG and SMIL etc.), but will not go into any significant details of the standards. New acronyms will be explained, but it is expected that participants will have a number of the original Web architecture, such as HTML, URLs and HTTP.
