Abstract

Provides an introduction and overview to the basics of the SGML. Details the nature of SGML, discusses the need for descriptive markup and its evolution, and compares it with Open Document Architecture highlighting the differences between them and the reasons for the success of SGML. Concludes that currently the cost benefit ratio of SGML is high. Includes examples of SGML compliant software products
