PDF file	D.A. Duce and M. Sagar. skML: A Markup Language for Distributed Collaborative Visualization. Proceedings of Theory and Practice of Computer Graphics 2005, Louise Lever and Mary McDerby (Eds), published by Eurographics Association, ISBN 3-905673-56-8, pp 171-178. This paper provides a detailed description of skML, a new language for describing dataflow visualization. The language allows visualizations to be described at different levels of abstraction: conceptual, logical and physical. This paper gained second prize in the Best Paper competition at Eurographics UK, June 2005.

ISBN:0-7803-8788-0 This paper provides an overview of some key parts of the project: the Grid-enabling of IRIS Explorer and pV3; the skML language for describing visualizations; and the gViz library. The demonstrator applications are also briefly described.

PDF file	Julian Gallop Diverse data to diverse visualization systems end to end Proceedings of the UK e-Science All Hands Meeting 2004, editor Simon J. Cox, ISBN 1-904425-21-6. Available at http://www.allhands.org.uk/proceedings/papers/135.pdf This paper was presented in a session at the 2004 All Hands conference and proposes a strategy for bridging the gap between the many formats of data sources and the many formats used by visualization systems, using an XML-based language as ameans of describing data.

XML for Visualization EuroWeb 2002 Conference, Oxford, December 2002. Published in BCS Electronic Workshops in Computing series. Available at http://ewic.bcs.org/conferences/2002/euroweb/session3/paper1.htm This paper set out the early ideas and aims of the project, in terms of the use of XML for visualization. These ideas were eventually realised in the creation of the skML language and the transformation of data formats
