XML is a meta language which can be used to describe the logical structure of a wide variety of documents and data in different ways according to the application. This universal, flexible and extensible approach opens up an almost unlimited range of uses for XML, from word processing through electronic business to data archiving. XML can probably best be compared with SQL in terms of its impact. For decades, SQL provided a common basis on which countless mutual agreements have been reached among software manufacturers, regardless of their own particular platforms or system limitations. SQL was one of the kingpins on which the IT world hinged as it set out on its overwhelmingly successful conquest. This paper describes that XML will play a similar role in the coming years.
