A native of Paris, Mohamed Zergaoui completed his post-graduate studies at Paris VI University in 2000. He is currently the CTO and Founder of Innovimax. He is also very active in the W3C XProc WG and XSLT WG and especially active in Streaming. He is also the editor of ISO DSDL Part 10.

Abstract

It's now 10 years that XML is out and is now mainstream. Eventually, XML is perceived for its value (Unicode, Structure, Extensibility) and not only for something heavy and difficult to use. XML needs still to gain in its capacity to be processed more naturally as a stream of information.

After a short presentation of where we come from, we will take a look very closely at where are the work around streaming processing, and especially from the XSLT WG, XProc WG and ISO DSDL; We will also see how some interesting approach are trying to find workarounds on streaming and propose some new area of use for XML.
