General-purpose markup language (such as HTML) for creating special-purpose markup languages, capable of describing many different kinds of data. Its primary purpose is to facilitate the sharing of data across different systems, particularly systems connected via the Internet PREVIOUS | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | NEXT
A standard created by the W3C. It is a language with many similarities to HTML. What XML adds is the ability to define custom tags, such as , and define...
A flexible programming language developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to create common information formats and share both the format and the data on the Web, intranets, and elsewhere. XML is extensible because, unlike HTML, the markup symbols are unlimited and self-defining. The Calendar Server uses XML and XSL to generate the Calendar Express user interface.
The universal format for structured documents and data on the Web, which is increasingly becoming the general standard document format of structured data.
(XML) Some reasonable definition here.
Is a W3C recommendation and provides a standard approach for: Describing information Capturing information Processing information Publishing information XML allows you to describe the abstract structure of your data using your own vocabulary, i.e. it provides a standardised framework for you to define your own TAGS where HTML has a fixed set of TAGS.
Extensible Markup Language, or XML, is a method of labelling pieces of data by what kind of information they represent. XML is considered extensible because you can define tags to mean whatever you want. It is a language because basic syntax rules must be followed. On its own, an XML document does nothing. It requires computer software, such as a style sheet and a browser, to be processed for display or other purposes.
Acronym used- XML According to the WC3, it is meant to be an extremely simple dialect of SGML, the Standardized General Markup Language of which HTML is but one subset. The goal is to provide creators of Web-based content with a way of specifying tags to indicate the content of documents, as opposed to merely specifying how these elements are to be displayed in Web browsers, which is the design goal of HTML.
A set of specifications for formatting web documents that allows the creation of custom data tags that enable flexible transmission of data between applications and servers.
A new technology for Web applications, XML is a World Wide Web consortiumĀ® standard that lets you create your own tags. XML simplifies business-to-business transactions on the Web. Family name: The surname borne by family members. These have great variety, even in Western cultures. For example, Smith, O'Reilly, Van Langen, Smith-Bottom, and de Neuville are all legitimate family names. Rules of usage and sorting vary a great deal by country. Some countries, such as Indonesia and Iceland, do not use family names or surnames. In countries such as South Korea the surnames Kim, Lee, and Park are so common as to be of little use without further information about the person's full business title, home address, and position in the family. First name: In Western cultures, the given name for a person is the so called first name or names, such as Howard and Kerri-Ann. In some other cultures, a person's name can consist of the family name followed by the first name, therefore the term given name is more accurate.
XML is a markup language for structuring arbitrary data. It allows designers to create their own customized tags, enabling the definition, transmission, validation, and interpretation of data between applications and between organizations.
A subset of SGML that is optimized for delivery over the Web, XML provides a uniform method for describing and exchanging structured data that is independent of applications or vendors. The key is that with XML, the information is in the document, while the rendering instructions are elsewhere. In other words, content and presentation are separate. XML is the Web's language for data interchange and HTML is the Web's language for rendering. At the time of this writing, XML 1.0 is a Worldwide Web Consortium Recommendation, which means that it is in the final stage of the approval process.
A method to create data formats for storage on the World Wide Web.
A simplified subset of SGML designed so that generic SGML might be served, received, and processed on the World Wide Web in the same way as HTML. XML retains the sophisticated data structuring and validation of SGML, while eliminating many of the options that complicate the development of SGML viewers.
XML is a markup language for documents containing structured information. Structured information contains both content (words, pictures, etc.) and some indication of what role that content plays (for example, content in a section heading has a different meaning from content in a footnote, which means something different than content in a figure caption or content in a database table, etc.). Almost all documents have some structure. A markup language is a mechanism to identify structures in a document. The XML specification defines a standard way to add markup to documents.
A subset of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), a language for creating customized data structures that allow for the definition, transmission, validation, and interpretation of data between programs, servers, and organizations.
XML is designed to improve the functionality of the Web by providing more flexible and adaptable information identification. XML is a meta-languageāa language for describing other languages.
Extensible Markup Language, as specified in REC-xml-19980210, is a subset of SGML and requires conformance to ISO 8879.
"A subset of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), a widely used international text processing standard. XML is being designed to bring the power and flexibility of generic SGML to the Web, while maintaining interoperability with full SGML and HTML". Dublin Core Metadata Glossary, Final Draft, Feb. 24, 2001, Online. Available at http://library.csun.edu/mwoodley/dublincoreglossary.html
A widely adopted W3C recommendation that provides a much simpler set of rules for markup than SGML, while offering more flexibility that HTML.
An extensible method for representing structured data. A meta-language designed to allow definition of specialized markup languages. A universal format for publishing documents on the World Wide Web.
a meta language - a language for defining other languages. It is used to define text markup so the text can be used and interpreted by different applications, including those that present information to people. XML allows developers to develop custom tags such as product-number, product-name, etc. XML will allow for rich searches and allow transaction-processing tasks to be implemented by browser and web server. XML, derived from SGML, retains SGML's power while reducing its complexity. Unlike HTML, XML allows the developer to create new tags that describe the data, and optionally create a set of rules called Document Type Definitions (DTDs). Any standard XML parser can read, decode and validate this text-based, self-describing document, extracting the data elements in a platform-independent way so that applications can access the data objects through yet another standard called Document Object Model (DOM). (pp. 5, 60)
XML is a simple, very flexible text format derived from SGML (ISO 8879). Originally designed to meet the challenges of large-scale electronic publishing, XML is also playing an increasingly important role in the exchange of a wide variety of data on the Web and elsewhere.
(XML) is a markup language for documents containing structured information. It uses a similar tag structure as HTML, but instead of defining how elements are displayed (on a web page), XML defines what the elements contain. It adds advanced functionality to web pages by essentially allowing them to function as databases. It is for the reason XML is expected to be the predominant language facilitating electronic data interchange.
(XML) - a subset of standard generalized markup language (SGML). XML provides a format for representing data, a schema for distinguishing and describing data structures, and a mechanism for extending and annotating HTML.
An open standard for describing data developed by the W3C using a subset of the SGML syntax and designed for Internet use. Version 1.0 is the current standard, having been published as a W3C Recommendation in February 1998.
A standard meta-language for defining markup languages that is based on Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML).
(XML) b . A text based markup language that is fast becoming the standard for data interchange. The language is extensible because you are free to use any tags you wish to describe the data. XML is a descendant of SGML. See: Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), Tag
A general-purpose markup language developed by the W3C for the definition, transmission, validation, and interpretation of data/information between applications and between organizations. The extensibility allows the creation of specialized markup languages and domain definitions with their own customized tags by using a formal grammar and vocabulary (called an XSD).
A simple dialect of SGML intended to enable generic SGML to be served, received, and processed on the Web.
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a flexible way to create standard information formats and share both the format and the data on the World Wide Web and with disparate operating systems.
A document markup language adopted by the W3C as a standard for the web that will eventually replace HTML. XML allows programmers to write their own markup language elements or "tags". XML separates the presentation, structure and content with style sheets schemas and content marked up with the "tags".
XML) A simplified subset of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) that offers extensible data modeling capabilities.
Extensible Markup Language is designed to improve the functionality of the web by providing more flexible and adaptable information identification. It is called extensible because it is not a fixed format like Hypertext Markup Language (a single, predefined markup language). Instead, Extensible Markup Language is actually a metalanguage (a language for describing other languages) that allows individuals to customize markup languages for limitless different types of documents. Extensible Markup Language can do this because it is written in Standard Generalized Markup Language, the international standard metalanguage for text markup systems.
A markup language that provides a format for describing structured data. XML is a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) specification, and is a subset of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML).
A language that offers a flexible way to create common information formats. XML is used for invalidation messages and responses.
A metalanguage designed for Web applications that lets you define your own markup tags and attributes for different kinds of documents. XML is a subset of SGML.
A widely-used standard for markup languages.
A protocol, interoperable with HTML, which distributes Internet intelligence between the server and the client.
(XML) The Extensible Markup Language is a recommended W3C standard. It enables metadata tags to be included with data content to indicate data meaning. Metadata tags comprise both start and end tags that surround the data content: as customer-name XYZ Inc /customer-name. This clearly shows that XYZ Inc is a customer name.
A rigorous and exacting language for defining markup languages.
A subset of SGML that is optimized for delivery over the Web, XML provides a uniform method for describing and exchanging structured data that is independent of applications or vendors. The key is that with XML, the information is in the document, while the rendering instructions are elsewhere. In other words, content and presentation are separate. XML is the Web's language for data interchange and HTML is the Web's language for rendering. XML 1.0 was formally recommended by the Worldwide Web Consortium in October, 2000. XML 2.0 is currently in progress.
A standard metalanguage for defining markup languages that was derived from and is a subset of SGML. XML omits the more complex and less-used parts of SGML and makes it much easier to (a) write applications to handle document types, (b) author and manage structured information, and (c) transmit and share structured information across diverse computing systems. The use of XML does not require the robust applications and processing that is necessary for SGML. XML is being developed under the auspices of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
(XML): An evolving language standard for creating interactive Web pages. Similar to HTML in concept but substantially more powerful.
A standard under development by the W3C that provides a much simpler set of rules for markup than SGML, while offering considerably more flexibility that HTML.
A language used to describe structured data elements on a web page. This is a way to create a sort of custom HTML, with a focus on common term definitions made into tags. Data becomes well formatted, so sharing and automating data becomes easier once common tags are established.
An open standard for describing data developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) using a subset of the SGML syntax and designed for Internet use.
(XML) A universal format for structured documents and data on the Web.
This language facilitates direct communication among computers on the Internet. Unlike the older hypertext markup language (HTML), which provides HTML tags giving instructions to a Web browser about how to display information, XML tags give instructions to a Web browser about the category of information.
A meta-markup language that provides a format for describing structured data. This facilitates more precise declarations of content and more meaningful search results across multiple platforms. In addition, XML will enable a new generation of Web-based data viewing and manipulation applications.
A language that lets you customize existing web-programming languages. It's the current standard.
A subset of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) that is optimized for delivery over the Web. XML provides a uniform method for describing and exchanging structured data that is independent of applications or vendors.
A meta-language for web-based data that enables inter-application data transmission, validation and interpretation. The use of XML facilitates STP (straight through processing). XML is a simplified subset of the standard generalised markup language (SGML).
