En 1998, j’étais responsable du support européen de deuxième niveau chez Sybase, pas peu fier d’être partenaire officiel de la coupe du monde. Compte tenu de la visibilité de l’évènement, nous étions tous sur le pied de guerre et d’astreinte 24h/24 et 7j/7.
Pour détendre l’atmosphère, j’avais eu l’idée bizarre de faire traduire la page d’accueil [...]
I am making all kind of tests for the chapter about multimedia of our upcoming Web 2.0 book and as it is often the case when I am writing, this is sparkling a number of strange ideas.
I was exploring the similarities between playlists, podcasts and SMIL animation when it occurred to me that it might [...]
Our upcoming Web 2.0 book is giving me the opportunity to have a closer look to the state of SVG.
After all kind of announcements for native SVG support in browsers, I was expecting that with my new Ubuntu Dapper distribution, SVG would be really easy to display.
The first thing I have tested is to display [...]
This coming week-end, I’ll have the pleasure to be at XML Prague, a small and friendly XML conference in a wonderful city.
This year, I’ll leave out my usual XML schema languages expert hat to speak on two topics:
An experience to define a RDF/XML Query By Example language. This presentation relates a very cool project that [...]
It’s been a while, almost six years, since I have written my Style-free XSLT Style Sheets piece for XML.com but this simple technique remains one of my favorite.
It has not only been my first article published on XML.com but also the subject of my first talk in an IDEAlliance XML conference and it’s fair to [...]
One of the reasons I have been too busy to blog these days is the project to write a comprehensive book about Web 2.0 technologies.
If Web 2.0 is about using the web as a platform, this platform is far from being homogeneous. On the contrary, it is made of a number of very different pieces [...]
This blog entry is following up Norm Walsh’s essay on the same subject.

TreeBind seems to be getting more visible :
My submission for XTech 2006 has been accepted.
Ron Bourret has added TreeBind in his XML Data Binding Resources.
Oleg Parashchenko has sent me a couple of references about his own Scheme based proposal to deal with hierarchical structures : “Reusing XML Processing Code in non-XML Application” and “XML View [...]
Dare Obasanjo et Uche Ogbuji ont publié trois billets web ([dare], [uche1], [uche2]) qui illustrent bien le décalage entre l’informatique d’entreprise et l’informatique du Web.
Ce phénomène n’est pas nouveau et dans les années 90 on retrouvait le même décalage entre l’informatique “sérieuse” prônée par la plupart des DSI et les développements client/serveur que nous préconisions [...]

Organized by data categories, this set of elements and attributes supports the internationalization and localization of schemas and documents.
