Publisher's Synopsis
Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) is primarily intended for the reuse of data and can be used equally for business information and publishing systems. SGML is device-dependent, and therefore is able to transcend changes to hardware or software over a period of many years. This text demonstrates the potential value of SGML, covering the standards for text description and processing languages developed by the International Organization of Standardization (IOS). It describes their interrelationship and aims to provide a reference for those businesses that wish to move towards a paperless office.
