Balisage: The Markup Conference

Jim Mason tells us to mark our calendars:

Balisage: The Markup Conference
August 12 - 15, 2008
(workshop: August 11, 2008)

Balisage is 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.
