Topic: Generalized Markup Language


  
  Markup language
A markup language is a kind of text encoding that represents text as well as details about the structure and appearance of the text.
Markup languages are used, for example, by the publishing industry to communicate printed works among authors, editors, and printers.
After a time it was seen that most markup languages shared many features in common, and it became generally agreed that markup should focus on the structural aspects of a document and leave the visual presentation of that structure to the interpreter.

 Brief History of Document Markup
Document markup is the process of adding codes to a document to identify the structure of a document or the format in which it is to appear.
Until the computerization of the printing industry, markup was primarily done by a copy editor writing instructions on a manuscript for a typesetter to follow (Figure 1).
Generic or generalized markup is the term that describes the process of assigning generic names to markup.

Markup is used to modify the look and formatting of text or to establish the structure and meaning of the document for output to some medium, such as printer or the World Wide Web.
Markup consists of codes, or tags, that are added to text to change the look or meaning of the tagged text.
These markup languages cannot be used for any other purpose other than that for what it was developed for.

 GML: Generalized Markup Language   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Generalized Markup Language (GML) is a set of macros (tags) for the IBM text formatter, "SCRIPT".
GML simplifies the description of a document in terms of its format, organization structure and content parts and their relationship, and other properties.
GML markup (or tags) describe such parts as chapters, important sections, and less important sections (by specifying heading levels), paragraphs, lists, tables, and so forth.

 Exeter SGML Project: What is SGML
The textual markup used is semantically perspicuous to a human: natural language is employed in the selection of names for textual objects, their attributes, and other features.
Markup is 'descriptive' in that it indicates the nature, function, or type of content in a document, rather than specifying how that data content should be displayed, printed on paper, or otherwise processed.
Markup which is specific to pre-determined processing goals is sometimes called 'procedural' or 'presentational' because it uses codes that specify processing directives or intended display effects.

"Markup" is a term coming from the publishing and printing business, where it means the instructions for the typesetter that were written on a typescript or manuscript copy by an editor.

An element definition consists of the name (generic identifier) which will be used in tags, a description of the content (using a "content model"), and an indication of whether the start-tags or the end-tags may be omitted.

 Overview of Standard Generalized Markup Language
While Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) is both standard (ISO 8879) and generalized, it does not provide an off the shelf markup language that one can simply take home and apply to a letter, a novel, an article, a software manual, or a catalog record.
While procedural markup specifies a particular procedure to be applied to a document component, descriptive markup indicates what the component is. Examples are chapter, chapter title, section, paragraph, author, publisher, and cataloging_in_publication data.
There are different kinds and ways that one might use referential markup, but I would like to focus on the kind of referential markup that enables something about which most of you have heard, and perhaps with which many of you have some experience, namely, hypertext and hypermedia.

Uses the hierarchical model for representation, which is limited compared to the relational model since it only gives a fixed view of the actual information: either actors under movies, for example, or movies under actors.
Note that XML naturally expresses the hierarchical syntax of the SQL query language which is used to serialize relational databases as one method of database backup, so this objection does not apply to the use of XML to serialize relational data, but pertains to the use of XML to express data relations directly.
