 Abstract
XRS
 		This presentation aims at helping the audience find their way in the galaxy ofXRS .
 Have you ever felt lost in the XML Related Standards maze: Namespaces, DOM, Xlink, XSL, Xpath, Xpointer, XHTML, Schema, XUL, XMI, XML-QL, RDF, CBL,HRML, OFX and many more... After the last XML conference I did, so I decided someone had to try and figure out what these text, data and software standards are and how they can be useful to us, the end-users.
 As a result, this presentation will share with the audience my experience from a user's point of view, in finding my way in the galaxy of the new XML Related Standards.
 First, a topology of the XRS will be proposed, then each standard will be briefly described, listing what subject matter it covers, what it is for, and who should be interested. A model to help understand their uses and relationships will also be presented.
 At the end of the talk, the participants should be able to identify which standards are relevant to their own projects and concerns.
 Note: The presentation will not contain in-depth technical description of each standard. The point of view is non-technical, but rather functional.
