| Class Description | An introduction to information modeling for text and documents emphasizing fundamental modeling principles and XML-related information processing standards. Specific topics include document analysis, modeling problems and techniques, markup metalanguages and schemas (including XML Schema and RelaxNG, as well as XML DTDs), and markup semantics. Several important markup systems in a variety of domains will be examined in detail, including TEI (for humanities texts), the National Library of Medicine's journal DTD (for STM publishing), and DocBook and Dita (for technical documentation). We draw on perspectives from formal language theory, data structures, and knowledge representation, and explore the relationships between grammar-based document modeling and other data modeling disciplines, such as the relational model and the entity-relationship model. Students will undertake a hands-on document modeling project. |
