I think they are called computer programmers... "specialists in transformations of structured and semi-structured data sets." Graphic Artist - Makes Pictures to meet the needs of desiger. Web Designer - Arranges Pictures and Text "Interior Designer for the House of Browser". Programmer - Arranges computer instructions so that data can be transformed into a format required by a designer. Usability Consultant - Measures user interaction to make recommendations for improvement to the designer. Sometimes you wear all hats. -----Original Message----- From: Wendell Piez [mailto:wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2001 11:39 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [xsl] Wishes for XSL revisions ...

Just as before print, we had no authors, editors, copy-editors, fact-checkers, catalogers, typographers, or booksellers, but only writers, librarians and readers (usually rolled into one as a "scholar"), it may be that we will soon be seeing whole new categories of work, including both new kinds of designer, and specialists in transformations of structured and semi-structured data sets. The skills of what we now call a "web designer" -- who may be brilliant communicators in visual media without being particularly good at abstract reasoning -- may or may not be appropriate for much of this work.
