Linux: Vorwärts mit XML
-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
Der Internet Explorer 5.0 unterstützt XML noch nicht,
Netscape hat seine 5.0 Version, die XML unterstützen soll,
noch nicht parat & jetzt kommt das unten ausgerissene
Papier eines Linux-Strategen daher, das unverholen die
Botschaft an die Gemeinde der Entwickler schickt: Wer am
schnellsten & vollständigsten den angesagten neuen
Dokumentenstandard XML unterstützt, gewinnt.
Bis dato heisst der de facto Dokumentenstandard MS-Word.

The rise of the Internet was a flash flood ...
Now that this pioneering boomtown is beginning show signs
of chaos and unmanageability, the city planners have moved
in on the scene and are quietly putting things in order. Their
primary tool is XML, the Extensible Markup Language.
XML itself is yet another markup language. It's a subset of
SGML that allows the description and implementation of
documents in a tag format familiar to anyone who reads
HTML.
...
The many XML-based proposals wending their way through
standards bodies right now promise to revolutionize the way
information is stored, retrieved, managed, and exchanged.
This isn't due to any leap in technology. Few of the
technologies advanced by the XML community are in
themselves revolutionary. In fact, many of them are based on
decades-old information processing models. The power of
XML lies in the fact that so many vendors and users are
finally agreeing on practical standards for such models.
For this reason, XML might well be the ideal vehicle for
boosting Linux in the enormous halls of enterprise information
management. Among those looking to get in on the ground
floor of the enterprise market is Microsoft. Having largely
failed to capitalize on the Internet boom, Redmond is
feverishly working to establish itself in the enterprise. And it's
using XML.
...
More than markup: Data formats and data exchange There
are really two ways to look at XML. Its primary emphasis is
the representation of documents. But its inherent tree
structure and sophisticated support for element composition
and attributes makes it a capable data definition language as
well. These two areas lead to subtly different toolsets and
supporting standards.
For the XML exchange of documents, the primary tools
needed are an intelligent viewer or browser (preferably one
that supports style sheets) and an intelligent XML editor
(preferably one that can guide the editing process according
to a document type definition [DTD] and help develop style
sheets). Linux is lacking in both areas.
