Abstract
It was not love at first sight when I met my first markup language sometime in the 1980s. But XML is different. It has a rich and flexible tag‐set that lets it function as a database. It is also starting to have tools that allow Web‐based display with standard browsers. Describing XML is not easy, but four aspects seem particularly important: separation of data; tool development; standards; and preservation.
