Moving to XML

A bit about the other bits

XML is a language for describing other languages
- Most of these are application specific
- Some are very general
  - XLink: a vocabulary for linking between XML documents
  - XPath and XPointer: vocabularies for describing positions inside XML documents
  - XSL-T: a vocabulary for transforming XML documents
  - XML Schema: a vocabulary for describing vocabularies
  - SMIL (Synchonised Multimedia Integration Language): a vocabulary for integrating and synchronising multimedia presentations
  - SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol): a vocabulary for exchanging computation requests between heterogenous agents in a network.
- All of these key standards are looked after by W3C
