You need to use two or more XML specifications/technologies:

• XML Schema

• XSLT, XPath

• RDF, OWL, XML Topic Maps

• etc.

You can develop an application, a tool, or a methodology.

Your project should be scoped so that it can be done in about four weeks.

For larger projects, you can develop a prototype rather than a complete solution.

You can use parts of your masters project or projects in other classes as long as it meets my criteria

This is your final!

We'll go over Center in a Box.

It is a Cocoon application that uses XML and XSLT to structure a web site for centers on campus.

There is lots of interesting work to do related to it:

• Re-factor schemas for extensibility.

• Add new schema modules for new content types.

• Media handling (images, video, metadata, etc.)

• Forms processing.

• Lecture slide archive utilizing ontologies to allow a user to create presentations from slide modules.

• A course information module for course websites.

If you are having trouble finding a project, we can find one related to CIB that interests you.

You need to write-up a project proposal before you do significant work.

Your project must be approved by me!

Approval means you have submitted a proposal that I've accepted!

You must use my project format for the proposal as sent out on the mailing list.

You will give a short presentation on your project.

It should be 10-15 minutes.

You must have a slide presentation.

You can present at any time during the semester.

You can finish your project at any time but it is due at the end of the semester.

You must turn in, for your final, the following:

• An XHTML formatted report that describes your projects and your results.

• The working code/stylesheets/etc. as specified in your proposal.

• Examples and documentation.

You should use the same format as the proposal for the final report.
