Abstract

The Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) is the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard for document description (ISO 8879 [6]). It is designed specifically to enable text interchange and is intended primarily for use in the publishing field, but has other applications in the office and engineering areas. SGML documents have a rigorously described structure, which may be analysed by computers and easily understood by humans.
