The Rocky Mountain SGML Entity will hold an introductory meeting
at the Cherry Creek Inn in Denver on Thursday, September 17 at
5:30. There is no fee to attend. It will be held in conjunction
with STC (Society for Technical Communiations). Users, vendors
and others interested are invited. The group has been formed as a
Coloardo regional chapter of the International SGML Users' Group,
an organized membership of people who implement and use SGML. Its
creation is intended to allow SGML users to meet to discuss
implementation and use of the standard, participate in vendor
demonstrations and commune with fellow users.
SGML is an acronym for Standard Generalized Markup Language. An
international standard for the markup of text and other data, it
allows for flexible, inter-changeable documents. SGML compliance
is becoming a requirement for many organizations. The Department
of Defense and all of its contractors have an SGML mandate as
part of the CALS (Computer-aided Acquisition and Logistics
Support) initiative. SGML proves to benefit organizations because
it provides cost-effective solutions to a wide range of
publishing problems.
