Abstract
Many Web developers will of heard of XML, RDF, XSL and many other TLAs.
But what are they? When will they arrive? Do I really need them? Will I have
to throw away my Web site in order to move to a next generation of the Web
(as happened with Gopher)?
In this seminar Brian Kelly, UKOLN, University of Bath, will describe
some of the new developments on the Web and the implications for Web site
developers.
