Week 9 Reading Notes

XML markup language is a lot more flexible than HTML . It enables you to create structured documents, which can be interchanged over the internet. The language allows for interoperability, as data transfer is not limited to specific hardware or software.

I like the fact that you can integrate graphics, links, etc. in to documents using this language. By doing this, it makes it easier to distinguish documents, adding to cross-referencing capabilities, complimenting doc 'tags.'

XML is highly structured, though it can be altered through different applications. Canonical XML allows for the re-ordering of information. The contents of the doc remain the same. However, the internal structure may be different.

XML "malleability" allows for more ways that data (content) may be shared, and ensures that a docs 'quality' is not compromised.

--The tutorials are interesting-though time consuming. In the future, I would like to try and tackle the language.
