Standard General Markup Language (ISO 8879)
Structured Generalized Markup Language. A computer language developed to create published documents before the advent of what-you-see-is-what-you-get desktop publishing. A subset of SGML was used to create HTML.
A set of rules and tags to mark the structure and content of a document, independent of the display medium.
See Standard Generalised Mark-up Language
Standard Generalised Mark-up Language. A text based language for describing the content and structure of digital documents. HTML, which has gained fame as the language used to create World Wide Web pages on the Internet, is a descendant of SGML. SGML documents are viewed with transformers, which render SGML data the way Web browsers render HTML data.

A generic markup language for representing documents. SGML aims to separate information from its presentation and thus facilitate different presentations of the same information. It is an ISO standard (ISO 8879/1986) produced in 1986 and amended (Amendment 1:1988) in 1988. HTML is a subset of SGML.
An international standard for describing the markup of structured documents. The basic idea behind SGML is that information can be made independent of particular hardware and software. This is done by storing all documents as text-only files (with references to documents in other formats, such as graphics, when required), and using markup that describes the structure of documents, rather than their physical appearance. SGML is described by the ISO 8879 standard (1986). HTML is an application (a particular instance) of SGML.

Standard Generalized Markup Language. SGML is a platform-neutral standard for creating documents and information archives--it's a series of rules that everyone can follow in order to make their documents publishable in different media (print, CD-ROM, the Web) and to make their documents readable with different kinds of computers. SGML is also a structure for storing information which eases information-management and manipulation. It supports very powerful searching and allows large information repositories to be repurposed, broken down, and rearranged intelligently into individual documents. For more information, see SGML info.

The Standardised General Mark-up Language, (ISO/IEC 8879:1986, now incorporating TC3) is a standard supporting the electronic processing, preservation and delivery of text-orientated information. SGML focuses on the description of the structure instead of the form, and is medium-independent. SGML is a superset of XML, and is used to define HTML.

Tagging conventions for chapters, paragraphs, subheads, and the like are recorded in a DTD. An SGML editor, or SGML-aware word processor uses the DTD to verify that the coding is syntactically correct. SGML can be used to drive typesetting equipment and other output devices on a wide variety of computer platforms.
