  Description language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Description language may refer generally a kind of language which is used to describe an interface to another.
In computer terms, a description language may be confused with or less formally referred to by other terms such as API, interface language, specification language, or middleware.

 Programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Few languages ever become sufficiently popular that they are used by more than a few people, but professional programmers may use dozens of different languages during their careers.
In some languages, the meaningless operation will be detected when the program is compiled ("static" type checking), and rejected by the compiler, while in others, it will be detected when the program is run ("dynamic" type checking), resulting in a runtime exception.

 Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Prescription and description   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Some prescriptive statements are phrased in the language of description: for instance, in many contexts "a man takes responsibility for his actions" would be understood as saying that a man ought to take responsibility for his actions.
Languages, especially standard languages or official languages used in courts of law, for administration of government, and for the promulgation of official works, tend to acquire norms and standards over time.
(Descriptive critics, on the other hand, would take this example and others as evidence from noted writers that "who" can refer to direct objects in English.) Lowth's ipse dixits appealed to those who wished for certainty and authority in their language.

 YAODL format (for SGI PowerFlip)
BINARY FORMAT A binary object can appear anywhere in a YAODL file; ASCII and binary may be freely intermixed (so, for example, you can 'cat' together an ASCII and binary yaodl file and get a valid YAODL file).
Binary objects have two main advantages over their ASCII form; they are much, much faster to read in and they generally take up about half the space.
The format of the raw data depends on the type; the following types implement their own binary formats: float This type is just the list of floating point values type.

 Binary Format Description language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Binary Format Description (BFD) language is an extension of XSIL which has added conditionals and the ability to reference files by their stream numbers, rather than by their public URLs.
A template written in the BFD language can be applied to a binary data file to produce a file with that data formatted with descriptive XML tags.
Such XML-tagged data is then readable by humans and generally by a wider set of computer programs than could read the original data file.

 BinaryDataFormat
For instance, a format may describe that data is stored with the most-significant byte first and with a "short" taking 2 bytes, an "int" 4 bytes, a "long" 8 bytes, and so on.
These methods are designed for use by binary file readers and writers to enable them to easily map between the binary format of data in a file and that of the current host.
Decodes the binary float value contained in the byte array, and described by this binary data format, into a float in the host's native binary data format.

Binary message descriptions require the additional capacity of defining various size fields in the message and the interpretation to be placed on the bits contained in the field.
A message description is initially intended as a reference standard to be written down on paper and made available to new users of a computer network.
Still farther into the future, the text of a binary format standard could be used as input to compiler-like programs which automatically create data translation programs for converting one binary format to another.

What follows is a description of the Binary II format in sufficient detail to allow software developers to implement it in Apple II communications programs.
The person uploading a Binary II file may use any convenient method for compressing, encrypting, or packing the file but is responsible for providing instructions on how to restore the file to its original state.
The structure of a Binary II file containing multiple disk files is what you might expect: it is a series of images of individual Binary II files.

 About conversion between binary file and XML
The idea is not to have a binary representation of XML data, rather it is to have a XML representation of binary data.
This is known as data format description Language (DFDL), and the specification is being worked on by the DFDL-WG.
Binary data can also be edited by using both the converter and the form editor.

 PLY - Polygon File Format
The way out of this morass of formats is to create a single file format that is both flexible enough to anticipate future needs and that is simple enough so as not to drive away potential users.
The PLY format is NOT intended to be a general scene description language, a shading language or a catch-all modeling format.
Next is the description of each of the elements in the polygon file, and within each element description is the specification of the properties.

 Binary Format Description (BFD) Language
The growing interest in and infrastructure for scientific data mining and informatics approaches that gather and analyze data from across a wide range of techniques and disciplines further complicates the issue, as data may be of interest in multiple communities with conflicting interests.
The core concepts involved are a language for describing file formats and a universal engine that reads binary (or ASCII) files and their formats to produce transformed output.
While the concepts themselves are not new, the implementation in terms of a science-oriented XML format language, portable Java engine, and web-accessible services that allow format descriptions to be registered and automatically applied to data files offers unique advantages.

Binary formats are particularly well suited to numeric computation, especially using dense matrices of numbers.
A binary format is very close to native computer memory, often it is a direct copy of the memory image.
Summary Binary formats and XML each have advantages, and there are good reasons why scientists will want to use both XML and binary data in the same systems and applications.

 The Java Community Process(SM) Program - JSRs: Java Specification Requests - detail JSR# 223
The specification will be grounded on at least one concrete scripting language example, PHP, but the concepts will remain independent of the scripting language and, if at all possible, the EG will also explore the bindings to at least another scripting language.
For instance, it may be appropriate to define a standard Servlet per scripting language; this would allow a WAR to indicate in its web.xml descriptor which files are in a given scripting language.
The EG working on this specification will deliver the specific bindings of these ideas to the PHP scripting language, but the EG will ensure that the concepts can be applied to other scripting languages.

 PDF (Portable Document Format)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
PDF (Portable Document Format), developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated, is described by Adobe as a general document representation language.
The proposed PDF/A format is suggested as preferred when layout and visual characteristics are more significant than logical structure of text documents.
PDF builds on the PostScript page description language by layering a document structure and interactive navigation features on PostScript's underlying imaging model, providing a convenient, efficient mechanism enabling documents to be reliably viewed and printed anywhere.

The split, then, between rhetoric and composition is fueled in part by the pressure of the public to force communications studies to produce tangible, measurable results of universal competencies.
Any binary such as composition and rhetoric may be bound to have a privileged term and a deprivileged term.
Of course I am not referring to autodidacts of composition-rhetoric, colleagues who had no opportunity to study in the field in graduate school because none were in existence; rather, I refer to those who had ample opportunity to study in the field and chose not to do so.
