XML 10th anniversary celebration set
The World Wide Web Consortium this year plans to mark the 10-year anniversary of XML 1.0 as a formal W3C Recommendation.
The now-ubiquitous markup language has found its way into multiple standards, including XSLT, for transforming XML content; XQuery, for querying XML databases and XML Signature and Encryption.
"There is essentially no computer in the world, desktop, hand-held or back room, that doesn't process XML sometimes," said Tim Bray, an executive at Sun Microystems and a co-editor of the XML standard, in a statement released by W3C. "This is a good thing, because it shows that information can be packaged and transmitted and used in a way that's independent of the kinds of computer and software that are involved. XML won't be the last neutral information-wrapping system; but as the first, it's done very well."
As part of the W3C XML10 Celebration, W3C plans to offer video interviews of people in the XML community and distribute XML10-related items at events this year. W3C also is seeking feedback on XML experiences via its XML10 Greeting Card initiative.
The W3C XML Core Working Group on February 5 published a Fifth Edition of XML 1.0, as a Proposed Edited Recommendation, inviting community examination of the latest round of changes.
