Standard Generalized Markup Language
SGML is in some sense a meta-language. It allows one to specify
one of a family of generalized markup languages. SGML provides the
language to specify the elements of the markup language and the rules
for composition of these elements. This capability enables mechanical
analysis of documents which utilize an SGML specified markup language.
In addition, since SGML is an ANSI/ISO standard compatibility of
SGML systems is guaranteed. In fact, SGML has been used for
representing brail, music, hypermedia, information for tutoring systems,
published books. SGML will be one of the tools which will help to make
free interchange of information a reality.
