9:30 - 11:00		Saxonica users meetup - Michael Kay Michael Kay - Saxonica This session is your opportunity to meet the Saxonica development team and to ask us about your burning issues with the product, to share your thoughts on how to get the best out of the product, or to raise requirements for future developments. We'll introduce the session with a quick round-up of where we are with Saxon 9.6 and with the other products such as Saxon-CE and Saxon/C, and the work in progress towards Saxon 9.7. But for the most part, this will be a question/answer/discussion workshop, with the topics set by the audience. If there are things you'd like us to cover, then let us know in advance ( mike@saxonica.com ) and we'll come prepared. But otherwise, just turn up and join in on the day. We want to get to know our users better, so if you're prepared to spend five minutes telling us what you are doing with the product, we'd love to hear.
11:00 - 11:30		Coffee break
11:30 - 12:15	Slides	Refactoring XML documents with XQuery Update and XSLT - Radu Pisoi Radu Pisoi - Syncro Soft When a problem is identified in a set of documents, it may occur multiple times (sometimes up to thousands of times). In order to fix such problems, we need a way to change those documents in a controlled way, and we can do that with XSLT and XQuery. However, we need to keep the same serialization and formatting of the documents, as much as possible, and this is a bit of a challenge. Radu will present the new refactoring support that allows you to apply XSLT and XQuery updates on documents, while trying to preserve their initial content. This can be used through a simple user interface, built on top of available scripts that also allow casual users to take advantage of available refactoring actions.
12:15 - 13:00	Video Presentation Slides	Quick Fixes - Octavian Nadolu & Nico Kutscherauer Octavian Nadolu & Nico Kutscherauer - Syncro Soft / data2type Identifying an error is only the first step in correcting a document. You also need to understand the problem and perform actions to fix it. Quick Fixes offer a choice of possible actions that will automatically fix a reported problem. See how Oxygen implemented Quick Fixes for XSLT and XML documents and discover Schematron Quick Fixes (a language that allows you to define your own quick fix actions).
13:00 - 14:30		Lunch break
14:30 - 15:15		Using XQuery to define Oxygen authoring frameworks - Claudius Teodorescu Claudius Teodorescu Claudius explores a new way of creating Oxygen frameworks and custom actions by using XQuery to automatically generate all Oxygen configuration files, custom action definitions, binding various events, etc. This allows you to easily manage complex frameworks with hundreds of actions and was successfully used in a project to implement a user-friendly interface into a dictionary.
15:15 - 16:00	Video Presentation Slides	Guiding the author by using contextual hints and actions - Alex Jitianu Alex Jitianu - Syncro Soft Every company has a best practices guide, but it's impossible to learn it, by heart, before starting to write. The best approach for this challenge is to dynamically provide hints, based on the context in which the user is working. The document becomes the entire interface and guides the user through the authoring process. Alex will show you how to achieve this goal by using features that are already available, as well as a few new ones that are coming in version 17.0. These include: a new type of form control new alternate CSS functionality defining actions directly in CSS absolute/relative/fixed CSS positioning the new CSS Inspector view
16:00 - 16:30		Coffee break
16:30 - 17:15	Video Presentation	Web-based XML authoring - George Bina George Bina - Syncro Soft Web-based authoring was presented at XML Prague last year on mobile devices. See how this has evolved, along with a few sample applications of this technology that makes XML authoring and review accessible across platforms and devices.
17:15 - 18:00		What is next for Oxygen? - Panel - discussion Panel - discussion Meet Oxygen developers and see what is planned for the future. Ask any question and we will be happy to respond. Share your feedback with us and with the other Oxygen users!
