Next-Wave Publishing: Revolutions in Process and Content

Business gloom in the post-dot-com years may not have prepared you for the next round of innovation, but it's coming. Industry analyst Mark Walter kicks off the re-opening of the SGML/XML Forum with forward-thinking look at the next cycle of investment and technology innovation that will fuel dramatic changes in publishing.
