Happy Fifth Birthday to XML

Celebrate the fifth birthday of
the Extensible Markup Language (XML), first published as a W3C
Recommendation on 10 February 1998. Visit the XML home page. Read about XML’s growth in this article by Dave Hollander and C. M. Sperberg-McQueen, participants in the
W3C XML Working Group who wrote the original twenty-five page XML
specification. The authors believe, “Just as interchangeable parts
drove the Industrial Age, reusable information powers the
Information Age.”
