#61 Seminar element needed

[John Duksta]

Under academics, it would be handy to have a element
for denoting seminars attended.

e.g.:

<academics>
<seminar>
<topic>Perl Programming</topic>
<institution>Sun Educational
Services</institution>
<date><month>March</month><year>2001</year></date>
</seminar>
</academics>

Which would format out as:

<bullet>Perl Programming, Sun Educational Service,
March, 2001

I'm currently working on this, but since I know little
about XML and XSL, it may take me a bit to get it
done. I'll submit a patch when I get it done.

A few suggestions:

- Perhaps <seminar> should be called <conference>?
- There should be a <conferences> element.
- <topic> should probably be <title>
- <institution> should probably be <organization>
(institution is really just for academic institutions, i.e.
universities)
- <organization> should be optional

Thus yielding:

<academics>
<conferences>
<conference>
<title>Yet Another Perl Conference</title>
<organization>Yet Another Society</organization>
<date><year>2002</year></date>
</conference>
<conference>
<title>Comdex</title>
<date><year>2000</year></date>
</conference>
</conferences>
</academics>

<conference> should probably also contain a <description>
element:

<conference>
<title>International Egg Eater's Conference</title>
<organization>Egg Eaters Association</organization>
<date><year>2000</year>
<description>
<para>Gave keynote address, titled <citation>Sunny Side
Down: The eclipse of the egg in popular
culture</citation>.</para>
</description>
</conference>
