Considering "Balisage: The Markup Conference?"
Unsure about the conference portal?
Wish for just a bit more Markup talk?
Balisage Dress Rehearsals are open to all Balisage attendees!


Balisage 2021 Dress Rehearsals

Balisage will use the Whova Conference Portal, which is unfamiliar to some
attendees and has changed since some of us used it last year at Balisage. In
order to provide an opportunity for us all to figure out how the portal works,
and to stretch Balisage into a full week, we will do "Dress Rehearsals" on the
Saturday and Sunday before the conference.

Each Dress Rehearsal will start with some social time including coaching to
help people get logged in to Whova, a conference talk, a Q&A session, and some
small group social time.

Saturday, 31 July 2021

Saturday 13:00 - 14:00 EDT
Dress Rehearsal & Social Time

Conference staff will be available to help you get checked in to the Balisage
conference portal. Once in, this would be a good time to look at the options
available in the portal, greet old friends, perhaps chat with fellow Balisage
attendees, test your camera and microphone, make sure you can participate
without feedback, and generally get familiar with the Balisage virtual
conference environment.


Saturday 14:00 - 14:30 EDT (+ Q&A 14:30 - 14:45)
Visualizing Musical Transformations: Evan Lenz

The issues with comparing versions of a transformed XML document have been
discussed many times. A special challenge, however, arises when the
transformations of a document are musical in nature, rather than the more
usual editorial changes. An XSLT visualizer can be modified to render musical
scores to SVG and enable visual comparisons of the transformation results.

Saturday 14:45 -15:30 EDT
Small Group Conversation

The Balisage informal meeting spaces will be open. Stop by the Fire Pit, the
Curved Benches, or the Coffee Shop.

Sunday 11:00 - 12:00 EDT
Dress Rehearsal & Social Time

Conference staff will be available to help you get checked in to the Balisage
conference portal. Once in, this would be a good time to look at the options

Sunday 12:00 - 12:30 EDT (+ Q&A 12:30 - 12:45)
Interactivity Three Ways: Norman Walsh, Saxonica & C. M. Sperberg-McQueen,
Black Mesa Technologies

One of the most obvious differences between documents physically printed on
pages of paper and documents displayed on electronic devices is that the
latter can be interactive in ways that the former cannot. More than 50 years
ago, this is what convinced Ted Nelson and others that when used well
computers would dramatically change our relation with text. What kinds of
interactivity are possible, and to what extent interactivity adds value to a
document, are challenging questions that require careful analysis.

Deciding that some specific interactive feature would add value immediately
raises a new challenge: how is that feature going to be realized? We look at
three technologies that can be used to add interactivity to a document
presented on the web: bplain old JavaScriptb, Saxon-JS, and XForms. We
examine a specific feature and compare the differences between similar
implementations across these three platforms.


Sunday 12:45 -13:30 EDT
