XML For Managers

Abstract

The eXtensible Markup Language - XML - is the hot topic on the Web. This language has much more to offer than simply solving HTML's problems, it heralds a new era in data exchange and access to information.

This seminar will give a high-level overview of XML and its related standards. The seminar does not dwell on the bits-and-bytes of the XML syntax, but rather concentrates on the uses of XML, the costs involved in using XML and its payoffs and benefits.
