Scientific Markup Languages Workshop: Scientific Markup Languages Workshop

Welcome! This site was created to support the exchange of ideas and to facilitate communication before and after the NSF/NSDL Workshop on Scientific Markup Languages, June 14-15, 2004, NSF, Arlington, Virginia. The workshop brought together representatives from the disciplines of biology, chemistry, earth sciences, mathematics, materials sciences and physics. The listserv is populated by this diverse group and others who have joined since June '04. This site is built in a wiki that is hosted by the National Science Digital Library. It is maintained by the workshop planning committee and the NSDL Technology Standing Committee. Please direct questions to workshop organizers Laura Bartolo, Tim Cole (Tech SC rep), Sarah Giersch or Mike Wright (Tech SC rep).
