Rationale:
Extensible Markup Language (XML), a W3C recommendation, has been recognized as a standard for self-describing data, knowledge interchange, and information integration. Therefore, it forms an important technology for next-generation information systems, particularly for those on the Internet. Since representation, interchange and integration of information are fundamental to all information systems, there will be various applications of XML. An application area that will need XML is e-business.
