I shall be posting the HTML/XML 'slides' from Montreal on our web site
(http://www.vhg.org.uk). A major design feature for the VHG was that it
should be easily accessible to people with little or no terminological
experience (i.e. they are only familiar with the commonest terms
('synonym', 'acronym', etc.). The full DTD is on the WWW site and a few
examples. We hope to post additional content, especially from learned
societies and similar orgs.
