In these conditions a state can consider itself viable if it always has among its main priorities the growth of investments and inputs into human capital, upbringing of an educated and intellectually advanced generation which in the modern world is the most important value and decisive power in achieving the goals of democratic development, modernization and renewal.” I.A.Karimov With the development of computers and advanced technology, the human social activities are changing basically. Education, especially the education reforms in different countries, has been experiencing the great help from the computers and advanced technology. Generally speaking, education is a field which needs more information, while the computers, advanced technology and internet are a good information provider. Also, with the aid of the computer and advanced technology, persons can make the education an effective combination.

  • The Birth of XML 259/09/Sunday 15H40
    The Birth of XML 259/09/Sunday 15h40 http://java.sun.com/xml/birth_of_xml.html Sep 16, 2007 Article The Birth of XML By Jon Bosak Solaris Global Engineering and Information Services XML arose from the recognition that key components of the original web infrastructure -- HTML tagging, simple hypertext linking, and hardcoded presentation -- would not scale up to meet the future needs of the web. This awareness started with people like me who were involved in industrial-strength electronic publishing before the web came into existence. I learned the shape of the future by supervising the transition of Novell's NetWare documentation from print to online delivery. This transition, which took from 1990 through 1994 to implement and perfect, was based on SGML. The decision to use SGML paid off in 1995 when I was able single-handedly to put 150,000 pages of Novell technical manuals on the web. This is the kind of thing that an SGML-based system will let you do. A more advanced and heavily customized version of the same system, built on technology from Inso Corporation, is used today for Solaris documentation under the name AnswerBook2. You can see it running at http://docs.sun.com, which looks like an HTML web site but in fact contains no HTML; all of the HTML is generated the moment it's needed from an SGML database. (You can get XML from this site if you know how -- but that's another story.) Like many of my colleagues in industry, I had learned the hard way that nothing substantially less powerful than SGML was going to work over the long run.

    “Electronic Books and the Open eBook Publication Structure”; Allen H. Renear and Dorothea Salo. Chapter 11 in The Columbia Guide to Digital Publishing, William Kasdorf (ed) Columbia University Press, 2003. Final MS. 11 Electronic Books and the Open eBook Publication Structure Allen Renear University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign Dorothea Salo University of Wisconsin, Madison Electronic books, or e-books, will soon be a major part of electronic publishing. This chapter introduces the notion of electronic books, reviewing their history, the advantages they promise, and the difficulties in predicting the pace and nature of e-book development and adoption. It then analyzes some of the critical problems facing both individual publishers and the industry as a whole, drawing on our current understanding of fundamental principles and best practice in information processing and publishing. In the context of this analysis the Open eBook Forum Publication Structure, a widely used XML-based content format, is presented as a foundation for high-performance electronic publishing. Introduction Reading is becoming increasingly electronic, and electronic books, or e-books, are a big part of this trend. The recent skepticism of trade and popular journalists notwithstanding, the evidence shows that electronic books are making steady inroads with the reading public, that the technological and commercial obstacles to adoption are rapidly diminishing, and that the much-touted advantages of electronic books are in fact every bit as significant as claimed. While opinions certainly vary widely on the exact schedule, most publishers believe that it is only a matter of time before e-books are a commercially important part of the publishing industry.
