"XML Models, Stylesheets and Transformations" is a lecture-style presentation that overviews the use of a number of presentation vocabularies, modeling technologies, and stylesheet and transformation technologies with which to either present Extensible Markup Language (XML) information or manipulate it for web services and electronic commerce. This is a high-level overview with working examples to compare and contrast various vocabularies and languages from a technical perspective, but does not attempt to teach the details.

"Practical Formatting Using XSL-FO" overviews the Extensible Stylesheet Language Formatting Objects (XSL-FO) 1.0 http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl W3C Recommendation, used for the paginated presentation of structured information (e.g. printing XML).

The objectives of the course are to understand the role and utility of the Recommendation, to overview basic constructs of the Recommendation, to design and develop XSL-FO scripts using XSLT and XPath (both of which are assumed to already be known by the attendee), and to efficiently navigate the available documentation and resources.
