 Cover Pages: Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML)
Both SGML and XML are "meta" languages because they are used for defining markup languages.
A markup language defined using SGML or XML has a specific vocabulary (labels for elements and attributes) and a declared syntax (grammar defining the hierarchy and other features).
SGML is more customizable (thus flexible and more "powerful") at the expense of being (much) more expensive to implement.

 The evolution of web documents: from SGML to XML   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The evolution of markup languages can be traced from the inception of the Standard Generalised Markup Language (SGML) for publishing documents, through to the markup language of HTML for web developers, and finally to the advent of XML for the interchange of business documents.
SGML became an ISO standard in 1986 and was developed as a "meta-language".
SGML is derived from generic coding but with two significant differences; it embodies the rules of custom-made, extensible tag sets that can be validated through the utilisation of a Data Definition Type (DTD).

Standards are necessary for interworking, portability, and reusability.
Andrew Tanenbaum, in his Computer Networks book, once said, "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from", a reference to the fact that competing standards become a source of confusion, division, obsolescence, and duplication of effort instead of an enhancement to the usefulness of products.
