Summary
Beside of ongoing studies you also need to attend various seminars to train your
teamwork experience and to make you familiar with research activities.
In contrast to remote work offerings, many of those events require your
personal on-site attendance, so it needs more planning in your schedule.
Testing requirements
At least two seminars need to be passed successfully, but there's no
specific area of specialization you need to complete in. So you are free
to select depending on your personal interests.

| 01912 | XML and databases |
This seminar was about to give an in-depth overview on the evolution
of SGML, XML and how to model minimal structured datasets. A primary focus covered
various aspects on manipulating XML information in databases and in queries (serialization,
persistency, retrieval, queries)
I picked up the idea of "XML-QL", which is a design preview for
querying XML-documents.

| 11905 | Databases in internet environments (virtual university) |
Within several workgroups we discussed usage and integration options for databases
in internet environments. This covered various aspects starting with internet basics
(HTML), programming languages (Perl, PHP), database products (mySQL, Oracle) and
presentation/transport (XML).
This seminar was hosted by virtual
university: although a teamwork is required, all participants are spread across the
country and do their job in a virtual way (mail, chat, newsgroup, conferencing software, etc.).
Just a short on-site weekend for giving final presentations was held will all of us together
in one place.
I joined a team that wrote a report on "using XML with databases and internet" and I also
created a real-world example based on Microsoft SQL Server 2000.
