Balisage: The Markup Conference 2009
Montréal, Canada
August 11 - 14, 2009
Balisage is a peer-reviewed conference 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 markup.

The FLWOR Foundation is a non-profit organization that
supports the development of open source software. The purpose is to make the Web
“programmable”. That is, the development of Web-based applications should become
much simpler. Furthermore, those applications should become easier to operate,
maintain, and extend. XML and XQuery are fundamental tools for a programable Web.
To this end, FLWOR develops a new platform for the development of Web-based
applications. For more information, please, see: www.flworfound.org.
The FLWOR foundation’s support for the Balisage Student Support Awards has helped several students participate in the symposium and conference.
