David will discuss his recent work using XML, XSLT, and Scalable Vector Graphics SVG to study the transmission history of medieval Slavic manuscripts.

The Electronic Publishing Research Group conducts advanced research in electronic publishing. Our particular focus is understanding digital documents as knowledge representation systems. This involves developing formal models of how documents organize and structure knowledge and then exploring how these models can be used to improve the performance and functionality of digital library technologies, collaboration systems, publishing systems, textbase practice, and educational technology.
