Description

This lecture features the development of document related software prototypes. Many projects share the idea of cross-media publication thus generating different output formats from a single document source.

You will work in a team of typically two to three partners getting regular support during the term. Required technologies like e.g. XML Schema, RelaxNG, XSLT, Formatting objects and others will be introduced on demand.
