["Chet Ensign"<chet.ensign@xxxxxxxxxx>]

     Just thought you might be interested in the following meeting if you are in 
     the New York city area (in the U.S., of course) & you are interested in Web 
     channels as a way to leverage SGML or XML data. Please feel free to pass 
     this along to anyone else who might be interested. Also note that we'll 
     have online journal publishing in April.
     
     Best regards,

     KEYNOTE:
       Enterprise Information Portals and XML 
     
     Information is one of the most important assets- if not the most important 
     one - of a modern-day company and XML is likely to become the general 
     standard for the markup of information in webbased applications. Enterprise 
     Information Portals (EIP) enable workers at all levels of an organization 
     to get access to information on a personalized level. XML is a natural fit 
     for EIPs as it provides an abstraction layer for all kinds of legacy data - 
     on the level of metadata as well as actual data.
     
     The presentation will discuss the problems of information 
     distribution/contribution, approaches to this problem and what role XML 
     does/will play.
     
     
     VENDOR PRESENTATION
       DataChannel RIO
     
     DataChannel RIO is a two-way Corporate Portal whereby Companies can 
     effectively publish, share, distribute and manage their mission-critical 
     knowledge.
     
     DataChannel RIO provides an XML-based framework that makes Corporate 
     Intranets and Extranets more useful by making them more usable. It controls 
     user access, the enabling of true end-user publishing, and leverages 
     existing investment in legacy data and distributed computing. 
     
     
     ABOUT THE SPEAKER: 
     
     Norbert H. Mikula is Director of Architectural Services at DataChannel 
     where he also is the technical lead for its professional services division 
     and the technical representative for DataChannel at the Open Applications 
     Group.
     
     Norbert has developed one of the first XML parsers (NXP) and has been 
     engaged in XML related efforts since the early days of this standard. 
     Currently Norbert also serves as Chief Technology Officer on the board of 
     directors of OASIS - the Organization for the Advancement of Structured 
     Information Standards.
