The Future of the web. XML

Description

What do Amazon.com, Kaiser Permanente, Envera, and NASA have in common? They all use XML, or Extensible Markup Language, the "nuts and bolts" of Internet programming and the emerging standard for e-commerce applications. Whereas HTML is a single, predefined text formatter, XML functions as a very flexible data formatter, a metalanguage allowing for the smooth transfer of information between companies. This program explores how XML eliminates many problems of data incompatibility, as in B-to-B transactions, and facilitates specific technical uses, like large-scale electronic publishing or the creation of specialized documents.
