Project meeting at Stanford

Date: 02/18/99

Attendees: Rajeev Motwani, Svetlozar Nestorov, Sebastien Brion, Dick Tsur,
and Yue Zhuge

We discussed more on XML links, and we learned about extended links and link
groups. We also discussed Xpointers, which allows locating an element within
a remote document. Locating element X can be done by providing the root of
the remote document, then either providing the ID of the X or a "path" that
led from the document root to X.

Before the next meeting:

  *.. Sebastien and Yue will discuss and propose methods to translate some
of the plain text resumes we have into XML format.
  *.. Sebastien and Yue will try to display XML documents in one of the
browsers that (claiming) handles XML (e.g., IE5.0 Beta or Netscape 5.0).
  *.. Svetlozar will read the paper "NoDoSE: A Tool for Semi-Automatically
Extracting Structured and Semistructured Data from Text Documents" by Brad
Adelberg and review it in the next meeting.
