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 OReilly 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. |
