Introduction to SGML for Museums

SGML makes in-depth museum information available and shareable
electronically, providing many more options than HTML for using
museum information.  This workshop is important for policy making
museum management, curators and publications people to understand
what SGML is, its relevance to museum information, and why NEH,The
US Department of Communication, and a consortium of 16 institutions
have supported research on SGML use in museums.

Teaching will focus on an overview of SGML; on the CIMI Document
Type Definitions (DTDs) and their use for museum publications,
collections databases, multimedia and hypermedia; demonstrations of
SGML; and discussion of case studies using SGML for museum
information.
