Abstract:
SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) is mother of all the
markup languages. eXtensible Markup Language (XML) is a
derivative of SGML. In the Internet arena Hypertext Markup
Language (HTML) is found to be unsuitable particularly when it
comes to attach semantics to the data. That is why XML was
developed. XML is still not a completely matured technology and
more and more specifications are coming up. Currently XML
version 1.0 is released by W3C. This paper is written to give an
overview about the designing of a XML based solution for library
science professionals.
