The course will also provide an introduction to several more advanced topics, as time allows, including XML namespaces and Library of Congress XML markup standards that are relevant to electronic text resources and metadata management including Dublin Core, MARC-XML, and MODS. Course outcomes will include: - how to create and manipulate XML documents - understanding how DTDs and Schemas define XML document structures and languages - understanding how to use XML electronic text markup languages and XML metadata markup schemas - understanding how XML markup schemas and standards are currently being used in the library community This course can be taken as one of six courses needed to earn our Certificate in XML and RDF-Based Systems, providing a basic foundation for the subsequent courses. http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/certificate-xml-rdf.php Robert Chavez holds a PhD in Classical Studies from Indiana University.
