“XML” is a markup language designed for writing data that is optimally
suited for use with the Internet. Since it allows tags to be independently
defined, it is said to be an expandable markup language.
XML is also capable of defining text and the information that defines text
type (DTD) separately. Text written using XML is translated under the
rules stipulated by the DTD, and the resulting information is displayed onscreen.
Currently, this language is widely used not only by the information services industry, but also by a wide range of companies that utilize its capabilities to disclose information or make electronic commercial transactions via
the Internet.
