The URL is: http://www.sgmlopen.org The host machine is located in Columbus, Ohio USA, at the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC). OCLC is the parent organization of Information Dimensions, Inc. For the time being, the server will be managed by OCLC through IDI... We would like to acknowledge the efforts of two individuals who are largely responsible for making the server happen. Dave Seaman of InfoDesign chaired the ad hoc committee that addressed the technical aspects of deploying the server, and Eric Freese of IDI handled the liaison with OCLC and the details of the implementation.... Thanks to Eric Severson and the folks at Avalanche Development Company, SGML Open's marketing literature has been prepared for Web browsing and will be posted on the server by the end of the week. In addition, we'll be testing the first version of the graphical user interface for the server, which is being developed by Logical Design Solutions.... The following general categories of server information have been established: * SGML Open Information * SGML Open Member Information * SGML in Action on the Internet (software demos and links to member web servers that illustrate the value that SGML brings to Internet users) * SGML Educational Materials * News and Calendar of Events * Resources * Industry Initiatives * Users Groups * Related Activities (e.g., HyTime, Project YAO, etc.) ... Note from the list manager: The SGML Open home page includes a member directory. This directory offers a comprehensive listing of members' SGML products for conversion, authoring, viewing and so on. It's worth taking a look! ************************************************************** * SGML NEWSWIRE LIST MANAGER * * * * Linda Turner * * Corporate Communications * * Avalanche * * 4999 Pearl East Circle * * Suite 100 * * Boulder, CO 80301 * * sgmlinfo@avalanche.com * * linda@avalanche.com * * Vox: (303) 449-5032 * * Fax: (303) 449-3246 * **************************************************************
