These are the slides for "HTML Form Templates with XML. All in One and One for All," a presentation given by Cogitech's Nikita Ogievetsky at the GCA's Metastructures 99 Conference in Montreal, Canada.

The presentation introduces one of the first real-life XLink applications: Cogitech's XML Web Application Template Library. This template library and the framework it uses demonstrates how XSLT can be used to facilitate the building and maintenance of dynamic web sites using XML templates to control data structures, extended XLinks to serialize sitemaps, and XSLT for controlling screen layouts and the database APIs.

HTML and server-side scripts are generated and executed dynamically at run-time by applying XSLT transformations to the XML templates.
