Workshop: XML-based Approaches for ETDs within OpenOffice

Abstract

As more and more academic institutions decide to implement XML-based publishing processes for ETDs, the need for efficient and easy-to-use authoring solutions grows. This workshop will focus on using OpenOffice functionality to create ETDs based on XML-DTDs and/or XML-Schemas. The goal of the workshop is to discuss OpenOffice's capabilities in this area and to allow attendees to decide whether or not OpenOffice provides enough structured editing capabilities for their particular requirements while working with ETDs.
