This technology has graduated. For details see http://www.research.ibm.com/virtualxml/.

Virtual XML Garden was developed by a world-wide team of IBM's XML technology experts as part of the Virtual XML project. They can be contacted through e-mail.

• Kristoffer Rose, Ph.D., whose research in XML technology is focused on the manner in which XML and the XML processing languages (XPath, XSLT, XQuery, etc.) can be implemented such that they can be used efficiently over diverse and distributed data structures, including large data collections and data not in XML
• Lionel Villard, Ph.D., whose research interests include multimedia documents, contextual adaptation, authoring tools, document transformations, incremental transformations, and high performance
• Achille Fokoué, who was the primary architect and the developer of the IBM XML Schema Quality Checker. His work on XML technologies involves static analyses of XPath, XQuery, and XSLT for both program understanding and optimization purposes.
• Paul Castro, Ph.D., who currently works on enhancing browser-based and rich-client platforms. His past work includes mobile computing systems and applications, network sensor environments, and wireless location systems.
• Christopher Holtz, who works in IMS development, predominantly with Java, XML, SOAP, and emerging, SOA-enabling technologies
• William Li, a former member of IMS Fast Path Test and IMS DB Adapter Development who currently works as a member of the IMS XML database team
• Geoff Judd, an advisory software engineer at IBM Hursley Labs in Winchester, England, who works on the WBI-Message Broker, focusing on run-time message parsing
• Suman Kalia, an advisory software developer at IBM Toronto Laboratory in Canada, the team lead for Message Set Development tools for WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker.
• Anthony Beardsmore, a software engineer at IBM Hursley Labs, Winchester, England, who works with the ATHENA EU Integrated Project on technologies for business integration
• Rajeshwari Rajendra, an IBM software engineer in Bangalore, India, whose interests include parser development and static analysis for programming languages, currently with a specific emphasis on XML-processing languages such as XQuery
• Anke Diderich, an intern from the University of Rostock in Germany who is pursuing a diploma in computer science, works on integration of XML and databases.
