DESCRIPTORS *Access to Information; Computer Oriented Programs; *Electronic Libraries; *Information Retrieval; Library Automation; Online Catalogs; *Preservation; Standards IDENTIFIERS Digital Technology; *SGML ABSTRACT This report explores the suitability of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) as a framework for building, managing, and providing access to digital libraries, with special emphasis on preservation and access issues. SGML is an international standard (ISO 8879) designed to promote text interchange. It is used to define markup languages, which can then encode the logical structure and content of any so-defined document. The connection between SGML and the traditional concerns of preservation and access may not be immediately apparent, but the use of descriptive markup tools such as SGML is crucial to the quality and long-term accessibility of digitized materials. Beginning with a general exploration of digital formats for preservation and access, the report provides a staged technical tutorial on the features and uses of SGML. The tutorial covers SGML and related standards, SGML Document Type Definitions in current use, and related projects now under development. A tiered metadata model is described that could incorporate SGML along with other standards to facilitate discovery and retrieval of digital documents. Endnotes and a bibliography provide further resources. Appendices include: a discussion of practical concerns related to the uses of SGML in conversion and authoring projects, descriptions of markup format and SGML tools, and a vendor's look at cost metrics. The report concludes that SGML meets current preservation and access requirements for digital libraries and that SGML solves the widest range of archival database problems today: SGML is a standard; it is non-proprietary and platform-independent; and it allows rich, full access to content-based digital documents. The SGML framework should be seriously considered when planning digital library projects.(Author) ******************************************************************************** Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document. ******************************************************************************** _U.S.DEPARTMENTOFEDUCATION "PERMISSION TO REPRODUCETHIS , Office of Educational Research and Improvement MATERIAL HAS BEEN GRANTED BY EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER (ERIC), This docuMeni has been reprothiqed as E .

Technical consultant Don Willis was engaged to conduct research structured to obtain practical results. In addition to reviewing printed and electronic information sources, Willis interviewed SGML users from industry and the library and preservation communities through- out the summer and fall of 1996. The technical report was then used as the basis for this final report, which is directed pri- marily to library and archives communities. Among other reviewers, Barclay Ogden, Head, Conservation Department and Digital Library R&D Department, University of California at Berkeley, made substantial contributions to its content and approach. Information in the report has been updated throughout its preparation. However, it necessarily reflects the situation as of the date of publication. This report is one in a series of Commission publications intended to spark additional dis- cussion and contribute to a collective understanding of how preservation and access needs can be addressed within an evolving technological environment. About the Authors James Coleman is the Head of Academic Computing for the Humanities at Stanford University, and runs an SGML-based electronic text center there. He has been involved in developing information retrieval and access systems for research and scholarly use at Stanford University and the Research Libraries Group, Inc. for more than 10 years. Don Willis is one of the founders of Connectex (www.connectex.com). He has developed information systems for The Library of Congress, Bell & Howell, and Sony. Willis, formerly Vice President, Electronic Product Development, University Microfilm International, is the author of the CPA report A Hybrid Systems Approach to Preservation of Printed Materials (November 1992), one of a series of technical reports from the Commission's Technology Assessment Advisory Committee.

  • Extensible Markup Language (XML) and Its Role in Supporting the Global Justice XML Data Model
    Extensible Markup Language (XML) and Its Role in Supporting the Global Justice XML Data Model Extensible Markup Language, or "XML," is a computer programming language designed to transmit both data and the meaning of the data. XML accomplishes this by being a markup language, a mechanism that identifies different structures within a document. Structured information contains both content (such as words, pictures, or video) and an indication of what role content plays, or its meaning. XML identifies different structures by assigning data "tags" to define both the name of a data element and the format of the data within that element. Elements are combined to form objects. An XML specification defines a standard way to add markup language to documents, identifying the embedded structures in a consistent way. By applying a consistent identification structure, data can be shared between different systems, up and down the levels of agencies, across the nation, and around the world, with the ease of using the Internet. In other words, XML lays the technological foundation that supports interoperability. XML also allows structured relationships to be defined. The ability to represent objects and their relationships is key to creating a fully beneficial justice information sharing tool. A simple example can be used to illustrate this point: A "person" object may contain elements like physical descriptors (e.g., eye and hair color, height, weight), biometric data (e.g., DNA, fingerprints), and social descriptors (e.g., marital status, occupation). A "vehicle" object would also contain many elements (such as description, registration, and/or lien-holder). The relationship between these two objects—person and vehicle— presents an interesting challenge that XML can address.

  • Odfweave Manual
    The OdfWeave Package Max Kuhn max.kuhn@pfizer.com August 7, 2007 1 Introduction The Sweave function (Leisch, 2002) is a powerful component of R. It can be used to combine R code with LATEX so that the output of the code is embedded in the processed document. The capabilities of Sweave were later extended to HTML format in the R2HTML package. A written record of an analysis can be created using Sweave, but additional annotation of the results may be needed such as context–specific interpretation of the results. Sweave can be used to automatically create reports, but it can be difficult for researchers to add their subject–specific insight to pdf or HTML files. The odfWeave package was created so that the functionality of Sweave can used to generate documents that the end–user can easily edit. The markup language used is the Open Document Format (ODF), which is an open, non– proprietary format that encompasses text documents, presentations and spreadsheets. Version 1.0 of the specification was finalized in May of 2005 (OASIS, 2005). One year later, the format was approved for release as an ISO and IEC International Standard. There are several editors/office suites that can produce ODF files. OpenOffice is a free, open source editor that, as of version 2.0, uses ODF as the default format. odfWeave has been tested with OpenOffice to produce text documents. As of the current version, odfWeave processing of presentations and spreadsheets should be considered to be experimental (but should be supported in subsequent versions). OpenOffice can be used to export the document to MS Word, rich text format, HTML, plain text or pdf formats.

  • Extensible Markup Language (XML)
    15 Extensible Markup Language (XML) Objectives • To mark up data, using XML. • To understand the concept of an XML namespace. • To understand the relationship between DTDs, Schemas and XML. • To create Schemas. • To create and use simple XSLT documents. • To transform XML documents into XHTML, using class XslTransform. • To become familiar with BizTalk™. Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence. Hal Borland Like everything metaphysical, the harmony between thought and reality is to be found in the grammar of the language. Ludwig Wittgenstein I played with an idea and grew willful, tossed it into the air; transformed it; let it escape and recaptured it; made it iridescent with fancy, and winged it with paradox.

The OpenDocument Format is based on the Extensible Markup Language (XML), so this assessment should be read in conjunction with the British Library’s generic format assessment of XML [1]. This assessment is one of a series of format reviews carried out by the British Library’s Digital Preservation Team. Some parts of this review have been based on format assessments undertaken by Paul Wheatley for Harvard University Library. An explanation of the criteria used in this assessment is provided in italics below each heading. [Text in italic font is taken (or adapted) from the Harvard University Library assessment] 1.1 Scope This document will primarily focus on the version of OpenDocument Text defined in OpenDocument Format (ODF) version 1.2, which was approved as ISO/IEC 26300-1:2015 by ISO/IEC JTC1/SC34 in June 2015 [2]. Note that this assessment considers format issues only, and does not explore other factors essential to a preservation planning exercise, such as collection specific characteristics, that should always be considered before implementing preservation actions.

In addition to the text, multimedia, and hyperlink features of the previous versions of HTML, HTML 4.0 supports more multimedia options, scripting languages, style sheets, better printing facilities, and documents that are more accessible to users with disabilities. HTML 4.0 also takes great strides towards the internationalization of documents, with the goal of making the Web truly World Wide. HTML 4.0 is an SGML application conforming to International Standard ISO 8879 -- Standard Generalized Markup Language [ISO8879] [p.319] ). As an SGML application, the syntax of conforming HTML 4.0 documents is defined by the combination of the SGML declaration [p.247] and the document type definition [p.249] (DTD). This specification defines the intended interpretation of HTML 4.0 elements and adds syntax constraints that may not be expressed by the DTD alone. Status of this document This is a stable document derived from the 17 September working draft of the HTML 4.0 specification. This document has been produced as part of the W3C HTML Activity.
