Lauren Wood is Director of Product Technology at SoftQuad Software Inc. She plays a major part in the design of SoftQuad's tools for XML-based e-commerce and e-publishing, as well as representing SoftQuad on several technical committees, and speaking at international conferences.
Lauren was until recently Chair of the W3C Document Object Model Working Group and has also been an active member of the CSS and Formatting Properties Working Group, the XML Working Group, and the XSL Working Group, as well as the original HTML Working Group. She holds a Ph.D. in theoretical nuclear physics from the University of Melbourne, Australia.
It's been five years since the first public Working draft of XML was released, and much has changed since then. The family of XML- related standards continues to grow, and experience with implementing and using XML-based technology is also growing. Lauren will explain why the planning committee chose the theme "XML: What Really Works" for this year's conference, and introduce some of the highlights for attendees.
