XML (Extensible Markup Language) was derived from SGML as a solution for large scale electronic publishing. It is maintained by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The W3C XML website at http://www.w3c.org/XML/ contains formal technical specifications and details of the working groups who define the XML standard.

XML (Extensible Markup Language) was derived from SGML as a solution for large scale electronic publishing. It is maintained by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The W3C XML website at http://www.w3c.org/XML/ contains formal technical specifications and details of the working groups who define the XML standard.

XML itself only defines a text format with which other languages are written. These other languages are defined by XML schema.

The XML interoperability consortium OASIS (http://www.oasis-open.org), a non-profit organisation, has set up a web portal http://www.XML.org/ to minimise overlap and duplication in XML based languages. The portal has since developed into a large repository of XML resources for those involved in creating specialised XML languages.

XML.com (http://www.XML.com) is a web site created by O’Reilly Media Inc. containing a large number of resources, articles and tutorials on XML in a wide range of topics such as business, databases, programming, schemas and web services.
