XML and XMLbyStealth: Difference between pages

Latest revision as of 05:56, 26 April 2013

Tim Bray once described XML as having come in "fast, low and below the radar": it was here and being used before many people noticed. I used the phrase in an early working draft of my book "Information Architecture with XML" to try to get across the message that XML needed to be introduced with much more visibility and management buy-in, as part of a comprehensive information management strategy, and not just allowed in through the "back door", by stealth.

-Extensible Markup Language (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.
