I wrote an XML tutorial/workshop that may be of interest to the group. From the introduction:
XML is about distributing data and information
unambiguously. Through this hands-on workshop you will
learn: 1) what XML is, and 2) how it can be used to build
library collections and faciliate library services in our
globally networked environment.

The tutorial/workshop comes with a bevy of examples, scripts, stylesheets, and sample data.
