XML: Extensible Markup Language
The World Wide Web is in the process of undergoing a radical change that allows new services and opportunities to businesses and individuals. HTML - the HyperText Markup Language - is a language that is predominately used to generate most of the web sites available today. Now, however, Extensible Markup Language is in the process of replacing HyperText Markup Language as the most favored format. Extensible Markup Language will allow the use and functionality of the web to continue to expand.
Extensible Markup Language is based on Standard Generalized Markup Language. First, what is Standard Generalized Markup Language?
Both HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and XML (Extensible Markup Language) are

Extensible Markup Language became the “RISC computer” of the markup language world.
What is HyperText Markup Language?
HTML - HyperText Markup Language - as stated above, is a limited subset of Standard Generalized Markup Language. It is a very limited subset of the parent language and provides very limited functionality. Simply, HyperText Markup Language allows the designer to mark up a document with human-readable tags that describe the document’s data and its display format. Documents created in HyperText Markup Language are static, non-interactive, and not dynamic in their generation.
The power of HyperText Markup Language was that it, like Standard Generalized Markup Language, allows communication across different computer platforms to occur and that it is relatively simple to master. It is very limiting; however, in the functionality it allows the designer to put into his or her application. Something more powerful was needed.
The Web. The Need.
In the past the exchange of data has been hindered by the incompatible formats of proprietary hardware and software, as I mentioned above. That was less of a problem when computers rarely communicated to each other. Now, however, communication between different computer platforms is a very common occurrence. And, it is a major obstacle to the spread of global networking and the growth of business transactions through the World
The first versions of WWW ((what most people call “The Web”))) provide means for people around the world to exchange information between, to work together, to communicate, and to share documentation more efficiently. Tim Berners-Lee wrote the first browser (called WWW browser) and Web server in March 1991, allowing hypertext documents to be stored, fetched, and viewed. The Web can be seen as a tremendous document store where these documents (web pages) can be fetched by typing their address into a web browser. To do that, two im- portant techniques have been developed. First, a language called Hypertext Markup Languag (HTML) tells the computers how to display documents which contain texts, photos, sounds, visuals (video), and animation, interactive
The different formats in which text may be presented are they are font typefaces, headings, font size, effects (bold, italics, underline, etc.), colours etc. We can format the text in paragraphs, tables and columns. We can add bullets or numbers, headers and footers.
Doctype defines which type of HTML we are using and also its declaration should be givens first in any HTML document. Doctype does two things, one is the identification of dialect of HTML we are using whereas the other one is control of a browser over using a standard or quirks mode for rendering a document.
A Document Object Model (DOM) is a API (application protocol interface) used in HTML and
A range of software packages can be used .HTML (Hypertext Mark-up Language) files can be created in a web authoring package such as Dreamweaver. The html files created by this software will include CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) files that are used to enhance the visual appearance of the site. Other web authoring tools are graphic design packages such as Adobe Photoshop that can be used to design a skin for the user interface design. This skin can then be exported into a html and css combination that is used as the basis for the developing site.
The different formats in which text may be presented are font typefaces, headings, font size, effects (bold, italics, underlined), colours and text boxes. We can format text in paragraphs, tables and columns. We can add bullet points, headers and footers. We can also add tables, graphs, diagrams and flowcharts as a clear way to represent data and processes.
Standards are important because it facilitates good representation of data and interoperability across systems. It also creates consistency in how we represent data. A large portion of utilizing data is around data-management and clean-up because data is inconsistently represented. The HL7 v2 standard helps achieve data standardization by having required segments in messages met so that all relevant information delivered can be interpreted clearly by the receiving party. HL7 v2 messages use a non-XML syntax that is based on segments separated by one-character delimiters. While not all segments are required, it is pertinent to have agreed on relevant segments, limit over-customization, and overcome implementation challenges. What type of systems exchange HL7
Web Design is almost like an art. It is the design of information and services over the Internet. Luckily for businesses and customers the information and services provided are in done so through the World Wide Web (WWW). As I mentioned earlier Web design is a form of art, meaning that art and organization are needed to form customized Web pages to fit a particular business’ needs. Services for Web design can be accomplished in a variety of ways: professionally through a Web designer, created through hypertext mark-up language, JavaScript, Dreamweaver, and Microsoft FrontPage as well as other “What you see is what you get” {WYSIWYG) editors or languages.
Developing Web contents involves shaping and making many choices involving technical, aesthetic, and usability concerns. With the expanding technical options for communication on the World Wide Web, it is tempted to focus only on issues such as hypertext markup language (HTML) syntax, page layout, or the latest and flashiest technologies. However, there needs to be a broader approach in order to articulate the information content that is to be conveyed. There is also a need to pay attention to the characteristics and qualities of the Website as a medium for communication so that there are not merely duplicate practices intended for paper and other media.
It is important to exchange information to make interoperability occur, but that is only one part of interoperability.
It is widely used to transmit arbitrarily structured data in mixed client/server environments. XML and HTML are compatible members of a family of markup languages called Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). HTML is an SGML language with a specific Document Object Model (DOM) focused on describing hypertext documents.
World Wide Web – Also known as WWW, which has a vast of data, websites, files and everything that would be connected to the internet. It is the structure for the servers that supports all kinds of formatted documents. The formatted documents are in HTML (Hypertext Mark-up language) which would be able to link in other documents such as graphics audio and video files. This is efficient as the user can go from document to another. Web browsers such as Google Chrome, Safari, and Internet Explorer allow World Wide Web to be operated so that the websites are easily accessible.
Header and Footer, comments, Read and write support (for words), page numbering, Resume, auto save, I-Cloud, substitutions, word count, annotations and auto save” e.t.c.
The objective of this project is to design a programing language by using basic common qualities from two different programing languages. This presentation should illustrate the features of the various programing languages currently used in the industry and this common capabilities. The constant of this experiment is the comparison and use object oriented programing languages. After analysis create a programing language with the same structures and variables. Further define the classes of the language such as its attributes and characteristics. The language executed basic algorithmic solutions. Therefore when I created controls and data structures also finding means to express algorithms I was able to create a programing language. The variables in this projects were the stored values such as strings and integers. If I was to do this experiment in the future or expand on this experiment I would define and organize my experimental data structures differently.
Advancements in the information technology sector have brought many benefits to the people all around the world. Today with computer networking, we can chat, speak and see each other over a long distance. Data communication refers to the transmission of the digital signals over a communication channel between the transmitter and receiver computers. Communication is possible only with wired and wireless connectivity of the computers with each other.
