Montréal in August has always been the place and
time for serious markup geeks to meet, and this
year there's an all-new conference for them.

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 marked-up
information.

It's an XML Conference. It's an XSL Conference.
It's a conference about SGML, LMNL, XSL-FO, XTM,
RDF, XQuery, SVG, MathML, OWL, UBL, XSD, TexMECS,
RNG, and a lot more. We welcome papers about topic
maps, document modeling, markup of overlapping
structures, ontologies, metadata, content
management, and other markup-related topics at
Balisage.

We welcome papers about topic maps, document
modeling, markup of overlapping structures,
