14:30 - 14:40	Welcome to the Oxygen users meetup	George Bina Syncro Soft Team Member	George will present on overview of the meetup agenda. You can also meet the 6 Oxygen team members that will be at XML Prague.
14:40 - 14:50	Batch editing actions on highlights (Modify All, Remove All and Surround All) Video Presentation Slides	Alin Balasa Syncro Soft Team Member	Alin presents a newly introduced set of actions, available for highlighted content and designed to assist the user in quickly solving time consuming repetitive tasks such as fixing XML structure errors, renaming multiple occurrences of an attribute or even correcting misspelled words.
14:50 - 15:00	Schema-less editing Video Presentation Slides	George Bina Syncro Soft Team Member	XML tools usually support editing with different helpers, taking advantage of the schema information. What happens when there is no schema, how can a tool assist users to create XML content in the absence of a schema or a DTD? Let's discover what support Oxygen offers that does not look into a schema but into the document itself.
15:00 - 15:10	How to develop XSLT stylesheets for Saxon-CE Video Presentation Slides	Radu Pisoi Syncro Soft Team Member	Oxygen does not provide yet support for Saxon-CE but Radu will show you that there are some things you can do to be able to develop XSLT stylesheets for Saxon-CE.
15:10 - 15:20	Working with XML Schema 1.1 and 1.0 Video Presentation Slides	Alin Balasa Syncro Soft Team Member	A quick demo about how to use the 'vc:minVersion' and 'vc:maxVersion' attributes for XML Schema. Oxygen automatically detects the version set for the current XML Schema document, and configures the validation and the Content Completion Assistant accordingly.
15:20 - 15:30	Schematron development with Oxygen Video Presentation Slides	George Bina Syncro Soft Team Member	The support for developing Schematron schemas was improved a lot in the last release of Oxygen to include enhanced validation of the Schematron schema, search and refactoring actions. See what is new on developing Schematron in Oxygen.
15:30 - 15:40	Schematron use-cases Slides	George Bina Syncro Soft Team Member	What can you do with Schematron? Let's explore some use cases of enforcing and checking different constraints on XML documents with Schematron.
15:40 - 15:50	Controlled values Video Presentation Slides	Alex Jitianu Syncro Soft Team Member	What if some values in the XML document are contained by an external data source? Alex will show you how you can configure Oxygen to assist the user to select values defined outside the XML document, in external data sources.
15:50 - 16:00	Import to XML from different sources Video Presentation Slides	Iulian Velea Syncro Soft Team Member	See how you can use Oxygen to import existing data from relational databases, Excel sheets or text file (CSV files, tab separated values, etc.) as XML, so you can process that further with XML tools.
16:00 - 16:30	Coffee break
16:30 - 16:40	Automatic Text Analysis with Oxygen Video Presentation Slides	Felix Sasaki	We will demo how to turn Oxygen into a text analysis tool. The demo is based on freely available automatic text analysis Web services and the Oxygen customization facilities. The DocBook 5.0 type has been adapted to allow automatic annotations of entities, while preserving the original DocBook markup. Use cases are, for example, disambiguation of named entities to ease localization of content
16:40 - 16:50	TEI Oxygen Framework for the Romanian Academic Dictionary Video Presentation	Claudius Teodorescu	The main goal while working for the digitisation of the Romanian Academic Dictionary was to provide an easy way to create dictionary entries while using Oxygen, along with reducing the information entered manually, as this can lead to human errors. For this, they adopted the Author editing mode that allows a fast and easy way of styling the XML using CSS. By using CSS extensions authors can use text boxes, text area, combo boxes to edit XML data, buttons to trigger specific actions, as well as other various in-house developed components.
16:50 - 17:00	Taking advantage of Master Files support when working with DocBook modules Video Presentation Slides	Radu Pisoi Syncro Soft Team Member	See how you can work with DocBook modules, referenced through XInclude or as external entities, taking advantage of the Master Files support.
17:00 - 17:10	Smart Paste between other applications and Oxygen Video Presentation Slides	Iulian Velea Syncro Soft Team Member	Copy/paste is a simple way of exchanging information between applications and implementing this intelligently allows to automatically convert from spreadsheet formats to XML and back, from different office applications to specific XML formats and to get nicely coloured XML code in your email.
17:10 - 17:20	User-friendly interfaces Video Presentation Slides	Alex Jitianu Syncro Soft Team Member	Is it possible to get people that are not familiar with XML to create XML content? The answer is yes, but some work is needed to provide them a customized user interface that is tuned to use the concepts they are familiar with and that makes the editing easier. Alex will show you how such user-friendly XML authoring interfaces look like.
17:20 - 17:30	Advanced search for resources Video Presentation Slides	Iulian Velea Syncro Soft Team Member	When you create XML content you may need to reference some other information from your current project but you do not know where exactly that information is. If you work on a project together with your colleagues and some of them annotated some files, how can you find those annotations to look over them? The advanced search for resources provides the answer to these questions and more.
17:30 - 17:40	Using custom CSS pseudo-classes to create trigger editing of specific XML fragments Video Presentation Slides	Alex Jitianu Syncro Soft Team Member	Oxygen supports user-defined pseudo-classes in CSS and these can be used to create a better user experience when editing XML documents. Alex will show you some examples of using this new functionality.
17:40 - 18:00	What's next for Oxygen?	George Bina Syncro Soft Team Member	Panel discussing about the future Oxygen.
