3. Text Processing  Go Top

3.1 Open Document Format  Go Top

Note: I am not very enthousiastic about this, because like MS RDF it mixes content and style. I'd rather have a word processor based on XSLFO (i.e. being able to associate tags with style like in pure XHTML strict or Latex).

3.2 TEI - Text Encoding Initiative  Go Top

Used mainly by scholars in literature research

3.3 DocBook  Go Top

The industry standard for technical books

3.4 DITA  Go Top

Dita has originally been developed by IBM by Don R. Day, Michael Priestley and others. It now is a OASIS standard. It's general architecture is quite interesting for educational sites, because it (1) accomodates for topic-oriented organization and reuse (as opposed to long documents), (2) allows specialization and (3) therefore supports semantic markup (as opposed to Docbook which is typographic basically). DITA has been used in the TECFA SEED project to write the Teacher's Catalogue. That was in 2002. Since 2005, a lot of other people are also aware of DITA :)

3.5 Others  Go Top

4. Other Schemas  Go Top

Both text and data-centric schemas. Needs to be sorted out, for Internet services related things you may browse through the Portals Pointers, i.e. the Webservices section.

4.1 Simple Text-centric DTDs  Go Top

4.2 Content Syndication (RSS)  Go Top

4.3 Semantic Web and Related  Go Top

See the links section in my Staf-18 course for many RDF / RSS/ Topic Maps / semantic web pointers, including social networks. Things below are REALLY just random fragments ... that I should move/kill some day.

4.4 Vocabularies for special contents  Go Top

4.5 Workflow  Go Top

(really not complete)

4.6 Programming  Go Top
