     I thought members of the list in the NYC area might be interested in 
     this announcement. There is no charge for attendance. The SGML Forum 
     of New York is a non-profit group dedicated to promoting use of SGML 
     and XML for companies in New York City and the surrounding area.

     For our 1999 kick-off presentation, Dr. Rita Knox, Vice President and 
     Research Director at the Gartner Group will offer her insights on the 
     following: 
     
     Extensible Markup Language (XML) is talked about for applications that 
     go well beyond what is heard for SGML. This talk describes the 
     foundational XML "family of standards" that makes this ubiquity 
     possible, and highlights emerging and potential applications including 
     a few of special interest to publishers.
     
     For our vendor presentation, Interleaf Inc. will demonstrate their 
     groundbreaking XML application, BladeRunner.
     
     "BladeRunner is an Enterprise Content Management application that 
     encompasses the entire content lifecycle, including content creation, 
     content repository and publishing. Based on an XML data model, it is 
     designed to improve the flow of information across organizations and 
     facilitate business transactions. BladeRunner contains an object 
     oriented content repository that stores, maintains and manages XML 
     content, DTD's, XSL stylesheets and related objects. XML documents are 
     "burst" into discrete "chunks" when they are checked into the 
     repository to facilitate reuse."
