XML, or eXtensible Markup Language, is a subset of SGML designed specifically for Internet applications. It boasts powerful vocabularies to describe document content and create structured information databases. Developed under the auspices of the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) with contributions from major software companies like Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, ArborText, and many others, XML is widely recognized as a significant advancement in system efficiency. It is often praised as being far superior to SGML and HTML.
Data-Flo’s technical team is equipped with cutting-edge XML skills. We can convert your current files or legacy data into XML, including paper documents, Quark files, and various digital formats. Harness the power and cross-platform flexibility of XML for:
Displaying data dynamically and meaningfully over the Internet, within networked systems, or across other media such as CD-ROMs, print, multimedia, billboards, matchbook covers, intelligent appliances, and handheld devices. “Leaps ahead of HTML!” is a common sentiment.
Facilitating data movement between various databases and data stores.
Backing up and archiving data free from the constraints of proprietary data management systems, resulting in impressive storage space savings.
Serving as a data store itself, providing utility in specific situations.
XML AS A DATA STORE: XML offers significant benefits for system efficiency and the bottom line in various scenarios:
- When information is complex, with varying numbers of data items in fields, such as doctors’ patient records.
- When individual fields are varied and complex, like insurance case histories or magazine articles that range from a few paragraphs to dozens of pages.
- When data type descriptions are needed, XML Schema allows detailed data descriptions.
- When scalability is necessary for growing businesses and information needs to be transferred to a database management system.
