Outline: The eXtensible Markup Language - XML - is the
hot topic on the Web. This language has much more to offer than
simply solving HTML's problems, it heralds a new era in data
exchange and access to information. This seminar will give a
high-level overview of XML and its related standards. The tutorial
does not dwell on the bits-and-bytes of the XML syntax, but
rather concentrates on the uses of XML, the costs involved in
using XML and its payoffs and benefits.
