| Abstract: |
The article describes the purpose of and the interaction between the standards that have been recently adopted in document interchange. International Organization for Standardization publishes international standards. The creation of a standard takes place according to precise rules and regulations. Before an International Standard is published, it is circulated among voting participants of a committee as a Draft International Standard. The Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) is a neutral format that allows easy reuse of data. The Hypermedia/Time based structuring language is an extension of SGML that describes connected or temporal information. Hypertext systems like the World Wide Web do not differentiate between a link and its end points. |
