Altova StyleVision is a WYSIWIG tool for designing documents, reports, and forms based on XML, SQL database, and XBRL inputs. It makes the power of XSLT available in an intuitive and visual design tool, and adds rich content such as charts, making it possible for designers and developers to focus on their target designs (in HTML, PDF, Word/Open XML, and other formats) rather than XSLT details. With StyleVision, a single design can be used to automatically publish in the above-mentioned formats. The same visual design tool also produces Authentic enterprise forms, which empower business users to analyze and update information stored in XML and SQL systems. This trainings helps you to understand the principles of Stylevision and to design your own documents, forms and reports based on XML and database input.

Marco Skulschus (born in Germany in 1978) studied economics in Wuppertal (Germany) and Paris (France) and wrote his master´s thesis about semantic data modeling in XML, shortly before any of the current Semantic Web standards had been adopted. He started working as lecturer and consultant in 2002.
He works as an IT-consultant and project manager. He developed various XML-based applications with his team in India and is regularly involved in complex import/export scenarios / data integration projects and in XML-based reporting solutions.
He led several research projects for business partners concerning expert systems, ontology-based software, and also online questionnaires. Nearly all of these projects were based on a complex XML-data model or made use of XML-based rule sets.
