                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.
