More Extreme!
-------------

It's happening again, and it's more Extreme than ever!

And Bigger! Principals of IDEAlliance's Knowledge Technologies =
conference
have joined the organizers of Extreme Markup Languages to expand the =
scope
of Extreme. We offer a single unabashedly hard-core conference as a
gathering
place for the technically-oriented members of the information =
interchange
and
knowledge representation community; a place for these people to meet =
and
refresh each other with ideas, advice, and camaraderie. The conference =
is
agnostic with respect to commercial and political persuasion; it is
passionate
about providing a forum for technical ideas.

At Extreme Markup Languages we devote the better part of a week to the
unfettered pursuit of better understanding of:

  - markup practice and theory;
  - knowledge access and navigation;
  - formal languages;
  - information philosophy;
  - development of markup and knowledge aggregation software; and
  - ontologies, taxonomies, and vocabularies.
