introduction to PMML will be given, followed by a description of some of
the newer features provided by PMML Version 2.0, including taxonomies,
data transformations, rules, sequences, and na�ve bayes.

With Version 2.0, a major effort will be made to broaden the user base
of PMML.  All interested parties are urged to attend.  Afterwards, there
