	Markup language Summary
		The idea of "markup languages" was apparently first presented by publishing executive William W. Tunnicliffe at a conference in 1967, although he preferred to call it "generic coding." Tunnicliffe would later lead the development of a standard called GenCode for the publishing industry.
		SGML specified a syntax for including the markup in documents, as well as one for separately describing what tags were allowed, and where (the DTD or schema).
		Thus, SGML is properly a meta-language, and many particular markup languages are derived from it.

		SGML is a descendant of IBM's Generalized Markup Language (GML).
		SGML is based on the idea that documents have structural and other semantic elements that can be described without reference to how such elements should be displayed.

	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.

	Introduction to SGML
		SGML is a Standard Generalized Markup Language defined in ISO standard 8879:1986.
		SGML was not designed to be a standardized way of coding text: in fact it is impossible to devise a single coding scheme that would be suit all languages and all applications.
		SGML sets out to clearly identify the boundaries of every part of a document, whether it be a new chapter, a piece of boilerplate text, or a reference to another publication.

		Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) is an International Organization for Standardization Standard (ISO 8879) that describes a language for text encoding.
		SGML is a product of the publishing industry, having had its origins in the automation of proofreaders markup in the 1970s.
		Unlike most other markup languages, SGML is non-proprietary, that is, it is not owned by any one vendor and does not have to be licensed for use.

	Exeter SGML Project: What is SGML (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		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.
		SGML's descriptive markup identifies delimited information objects in terms of what they are, not in terms of how they are to be rendered on a computer screen or formatted for paper printout.
		SGML has been adopted widely within industry, serving the needs of large multinational corporations and specific industry sectors where standardized data representation is critical to information interchange.

	SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) (Linktionary term)
		SGML is an open standard markup language that specifies how documents should be formatted.
		In this sense, it is a metalanguage-a language that describes a formatting and markup language.
		The markups were so obscure that users quickly realized a standard markup language was needed to reduce confusion.

	SGML (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		SGML grew out of an earlier language called Generalized Markup Language (GML) developed around 1970 by Charles Goldfarb and others and an IBM version called Document Composition Facility Generalized Markup Language (DCF GML) (Bryan 1988).
		The development of GML and its successors, Document Composition Facility Generalized Markup Language (DCF GML) and SGML, was guided by two principles: textual markup should describe logical structure instead of physical appearance, and textual markup should be unambiguous and easily understood by either a program or a person (Bryan 1988).
		After several years of further development, Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) was issued in 1986 as Standard 8879 by the ISO (Bryan 1988).

		It is the most well known SGML markup language but largely and falsely thought of as being outside the context of or as a brother or sister of SGML.
		SGML languages define descriptive content containers that contain document content and are described in relation to other containers in terms of where they can and must exist.

	Standard Generalized Markup Language
		Markup languages are special codes and markers designed to perform specific functions within an electronic document.
		Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is one example of a markup language based on this ISO standard.
		SGML languages use markers called tags to specify the formatting within the document and to separate specific parts of the document into blocks that can be recognized and searched more easilly.

	MARC DTD: Background and Development
		SGML is a technique for representing documents in machine-readable form which was approved as an international standard, ISO 8879 (Information processing--Text and office systems--Standard Generalized Markup Language).
		Due to constraints presented by the SGML standard itself, certain things had to be specified in the MARC DTDs that are not explicitly specified for MARC (ISO 2709) records.
		The structure of subfield-level SGML elements would be the expected alphabetic prefix ("mrcb" or "mrca", depending upon the DTD), the three-digit numeric tag for the field in which the subfield is valid, a hyphen (-), and the one-character subfield identifier, usually a lowercase letter a-z or digits 2-8 (for example: mrcb245-a, mrcb245-b, mrcb245-6).

	A Gentle Introduction to SGML (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Generalizing from that sense, we define markup, or (synonymously) encoding, as any means of making explicit an interpretation of a text.
		A markup language must specify what markup is allowed, what markup is required, how markup is to be distinguished from text, and what the markup means.
		SGML provides the means for doing the first three; documentation such as these Guidelines is required for the last.

	Markup Languages
		A markup language is identified by special characters or other symbols that are inserted within a text file to indicate how the file should look when it is displayed (or printed).
		SGML defines rules for how a document can be described in terms of its logical structure (headings or paragraphs for example).
		This means that a single standard SGML compiler can serve many different kinds of documents that use a range of different markup codes and related meanings.
