About the White Paper:
There's another revolution on the horizon, called XML (eXtensible Markup Language). Just as HTML revolutionized Internet publishing by making it easy to define document layout, XML is about to revolutionize business to business electronic commerce by making it easy to define document content. When the components of a document are known ("this is a part number, ("this is an expiration date," "this is a price ")you can present the document many different ways. But more importantly, it becomes possible for external programs to interpret and process the information contained in your document. This is the key to automating document flow between and within businesses. |
