Week 9 readings & muddy point

XML: Martin Bryan Ok. XML is a formal language which can be used to 'pass information about component parts of a document to another computer system.'  It is object-oriented, hierarchical, and  is a clearly defined format.   Luckily, the other readings for this week cleared this all up for me. XML Standards: Uchi Ogbuji I sense that XML is a deeper language than HTML.  I looked at the ZVON XML tutorial (http://www.zvon.org/xxl/XMLTutorial/General/book.html posted on this page, and began to see what XML is about.  I think I can do it. Tutorial: Andre Bergholz: I was unable to locate this at the URL provided,  and in the magazine  it was published.  Through the U Pitt Libraries, I found the IEEE Internet  Computing Journal for  July 2000, but the pages 74-79 ( this article) were missing.  As proof, I've included the two sandwiching articles.  The ZVON Tutorial helped a lot however so I feel ok about missing this one. From July 2000 IEEE Internet Computing: U Pitt E journals: Building an IP network quality-of-service testbed McWherter, D.T.; Sevy, J.; Regli, W.C.

Page(s): 81-83 Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/MIC.2000.865090 Abstract  | Full Text: PDF (84 KB)  Rights and Permissions ________________________________________________ XML Schema Tutorial: Deeper than XML, better than DTD, it enhances both using coding  language already in existence, and boasts standardized formations  to avoid confusion in dates or quantities.  Largely way over my head. Muddiest Point: Not so much for class, but as in how these readings could apply to me.  Could I actually use these in a web page?  It's worth a try!
