As the inventor of SGML, Dr. Charles F. Goldfarb is one of the most respected authorities on structured information.

This vision can now be realized through XML.";-From the Foreword by Jean Paoli, Microsoft XML architect and co-editor of the W3C XML specification The definitive resource for the Brave New Web of smart structured data and electronic commerce *Start by understanding what XML is, why it came to be, how it differs from HTML, and the handful of vital concepts that you must understand to apply XML quickly and successfully. *Experience what its like to use XML, through illustrated walk-throughs of XML tools and applications-including hot new Web servers for B2B, EDI, e-commerce, portals, content management, conversion, syndication, and presentation. *Master the details of the XML language and related technologies from reader-friendly, in-depth presentations on XML, XSL, XSLT, XLink, XPath, XSDL, datatypes, schemas, namespaces, topic maps, and extended linking.
