SGML/XML-based applications

SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) and XML (eXtensible Markup Language) are systems used to define structured data. They allow organizations to create and share documents in a format that both humans and computers can understand. Think of SGML/XML as a way to organize information using tags, similar to how a file cabinet organizes papers. This makes it easier to access, share, and manipulate data across different software and platforms. Many applications, like websites and databases, use these formats to ensure compatibility and facilitate communication between systems.
