    Abstract
    XML, the Extensible Markup Language is a syntax for tagging, or marking-up, textual information. It is a standard, established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) that many use when sharing or working with structured information. XML isn't used by itself, but as a tool to create other data-specific markup languages. One benefit to using XML is that it enables these languages to distinguish the content that is being marked up from its presentation, allowing for greater flexibility and data reuse. The library community has embraced XML and uses it as the foundation for many of their own data-specific markup languages. Perhaps the greatest strength of XML is that it is very easy to start working with and yet, in conjunction with many other XML-related standards and technologies, can also be used to develop complex applications.

    Abstract
    Using new communication technologies libraries must face continuously new questions, possibilities and expectations. This study discusses library-related aspects of our electronic era and how computer-related data formats affect bibliographic dataprocessing to give a summary of the most important results. First bibliographic formats for the exchange of bibliographic and related information in the machine-readable form between different types of computer systems were created more than 30 years ago. The evolution of information technologies leads to the improvement of computer systems. In addition to the development of computers and media types Internet has a great influence on data structure as well. Since the introduction of MARC bibliographic format, technology of data exchange between computers and between different computer systems has reached a very sophisticated stage and has contributed to the creation of new standards in this field. Today libraries work with this new infrastructure that induces many challenges. One of the most significant challenges is moving from a relatively homogenous bibliographic environment to a diverse one. Despite these challenges such changes are achievable and necessary to exploit possibilities of new metadata and technologies like the Internet and XML (Extensible Markup Language). XML is an open standard, a universal language for data on the Web. XML is nearly six-years-old standard designed for the description and computer-based management of (semi)-structured data and structured texts. XML gives developers the power to deliver structured data from a wide variety of applications and it is also an ideal format from server-to-server transfer of structured data. XML also isn't limited for Internet use and is an especially valuable tool in the field of library. In fact, XML's main strength - organizing information - makes it perfect for exchanging data between different systems. Tools that work with the XML can be used to process XML records without incurring additional costs associated with one's own software development. In addition, XML is also a suitable format for library web services. The Department of Computer-related Graphic Design and Library and Information Sciences of Debrecen University launched the BDML (Bibliographic Description Markup Language) development project in order to standardize bibliogrphic description with the help of XML.

    "Die Extensible Markup Language (XML) ist eine Metaauszeichnungssprache, die 1998 vom World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), einer Organisation, die sich mit der Erstellung von Web Standards und neuen Technologien für das Internet beschäftigt, als neue Empfehlung für Web-Anwendungen festgesetzt wurde. Seitdem ist viel über XML und die sich durch diese Sprache ergebenden neuen Möglichkeiten des Datenaustausches über das Internet publiziert worden. In XML-Dokumenten werden die hierarchische Struktur und der Inhalt der Dokumente festgelegt, aber keinerlei Angaben zum Layout gemacht. Dieses wird in so genannten Stylesheets definiert. Mit Hilfe mehrerer Stylesheets, die sich alle auf ein XML-Dokument beziehen, ist es möglich, aus einem Datenbestand verschiedene Ausgabeprodukte, z.B. eine Online-Version und eine druckbare Ausgabe eines Dokuments, zu erzeugen. Diese Möglichkeit der Herstellung verschiedener medialer Varianten eines Produkts ist auch für die Herstellung von Informationsmitteln interessant. Im Bereich der Produktion von Informationsmitteln, vor allem von Lexika und Enzyklopädien, ist in den letzten Jahren zu beobachten gewesen, dass neben der traditionellen, gedruckten Ausgabe des Nachschlagewerks zunehmend auch elektronische Varianten, die durch multimediale Elemente angereichert sind, angeboten werden. Diese elektronischen Nachschlagewerke werden sowohl offline, d.h. auf CD-ROM bzw. DVD, als auch online im Internet veröffentlicht. Im Gegensatz zu den gedruckten Versionen werden die neuen Produkte fast jährlich aktualisiert. Diese neue Situation erforderte Veränderungen im Herstellungsprozess. Ein Verfahren, das die Erzeugung verschiedener medialer Varianten eines Produkts möglichst einfach und problemlos ermöglicht, wurde benötigt. XML und ihr Vorgänger, die Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), schienen die perfekte Lösung für dieses Problem zu sein. Die Erwartungen an den Nutzen, den SGML und XML bringen könnten, waren hoch: "Allein dieses Spitzklammerformat, eingespeist in einen Datenpool, soll auf Knopfdruck die Generierung der verschiedensten Medienprodukte ermöglichen". Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, darzustellen, wie der neue Standard XML bei der Publikation von Informationsmitteln eingesetzt werden kann, um aus einem einmal erfassten Datenbestand mit möglichst geringem Aufwand mehrere Ausgabeprodukte zu generieren. Es wird darauf eingegangen, welche Ausgabeformen sich in diesem Bereich für XML-Dokumente anbieten und mit welchen Verfahren und Hilfsmitteln die jeweiligen Ausgabeformate erstellt werden können. In diesem Zusammenhang sollen auch die Aspekte behandelt werden, die sich bei der Umwandlung von XML-Dokumenten in andere For mate unter Umständen als problematisch erweisen könnten.

    Abstract
    "Wir ertrinken in Informationen, aber uns dürstet nach Wissen." Trendforscher John Naisbitt drückt hiermit aus, dass es dem Menschen heute nicht mehr möglich ist die Informationsflut, die sich über ihn ergießt, effizient zu verwerten. Er lebt in einer globalisierten Welt mit einem vielfältigen Angebot an Medien, wie Presse, Radio, Fernsehen und dem Internet. Die Problematik der mangelnden Auswertbarkeit von großen Informationsmengen ist dabei vor allem im Internet akut. Die Quantität, Verbreitung, Aktualität und Verfügbarkeit sind die großen Vorteile des World Wide Web (WWW). Die Probleme liegen in der Qualität und Dichte der Informationen. Das Information Retrieval muss effizienter gestaltet werden, um den wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Nutzen einer vernetzten Welt zu erhalten.Matthias Erbarth beleuchtet zunächst genau diesen Themenkomplex, um im Anschluss ein Format für elektronische Dokumente, insbesondere kommerzielle Publikationen, zu entwickeln. Dieses Anwendungsbeispiel stellt eine semantische Inhaltsbeschreibung mit Metadaten mittels XML vor, wobei durch Nutzung von Verweisen und Auswertung von Zusammenhängen insbesondere eine netzförmige Darstellung berücksichtigt wird.

    Tennant's collection covers a variety of well- and lesser-known XML-based pilot and prototype projects undertaken by libraries around the world. Some of the projects included are: Stanford's XMLMARC conversion, Oregon State's use of XML in interlibrary loaning, e-books (California Digital Library) and electronic scholarly publishing (University of Michigan), the Washington Research Library Consortium's XML-based Web Services, and using TEI Lite to support indexing (Halton Hills Public Library). Of the 13 projects presented, nine are sited in academe, three are state library endeavors, and one is an American public library initiative. The projects are gathered into sections grouped by seven library applications: the use of XML in library catalog records, interlibrary loan, cataloging and indexing, collection building, databases, data migration, and systems interoperability. Each project is introduced with a few paragraphs of background information. The project reports-averaging about 13 pages each-include project goals and justification, project description, challenges and lessons learned (successes and failures), future plans, implications of the work, contact information for individual(s) responsible for the project, and relevant Web links and resources. The clear strengths of this collection are in the details and the consistency of presentation. The concise project write-ups flow well and encourage interested readers to follow-up via personal contacts and URLs. The sole weakness is the price. XML in Libraries will excite and inspire institutions and organizations with technically adept staff resources and visionary leaders. Erik Ray has written a how-to book. Unlike most, Learning XML is not aimed at the professional programming community. The intended audience is readers familiar with a structured markup (HTML, TEX, etc.) and Web concepts (hypertext links, data representation). In the first six chapters, Ray introduces XMUs main concepts and tools for writing, viewing, testing, and transforming XML (chapter 1), describes basic syntax (chapter 2), discusses linking with XLink and XPointer (chapter 3), introduces Cascading Style Sheets for use with XML (chapter 4), explains document type definitions (DTDs) and schemas (chapter 5), and covers XSLT stylesheets and XPath (chapter 6). Chapter 7 introduces Unicode, internationalization and language support, including CSS and XSLT encoding. Chapter 8 is an overview of writing software for processing XML, and includes the Perl code for an XML syntax checker. This work is written very accessibly for nonprogrammers. Writers, designers, and students just starting to acquire Web technology skills will find Ray's style approachable. Concepts are introduced in a logical flow, and explained clearly. Code samples (130+), illustrations and screen shots (50+), and numerous tables are distributed throughout the text. Ray uses a modified DocBook DTD and a checkbook example throughout, introducing concepts in early chapters and adding new concepts to them. Readers become familiar with the code and its evolution through repeated exposure. The code for converting the "barebones DocBook" DTD (10 pages of code) to HTML via XSLT stylesheet occupies 19 pages. Both code examples allow the learner to sec an accumulation of snippets incorporated into a sensible whole. While experienced programmers might not need this type of support, nonprogrammers certainly do. Using the checkbook example is an inspired choice: Most of us are familiar with personal checking, even if few of us world build an XML application for it. Learning XML is an excellent textbook. I've used it for several years as a recommended text for adult continuing education courses and workshops."

Norman Desmarais aims to provide librarians with an overview of XML and some potential library applications. The ABCs of XML contains the useful basic information that most general XML works cover. It is addressed to librarians, as evidenced by the occasional reference to periodical vendors, MARC, and OPACs. However, librarians without SGML, HTML, database, or programming experience may find the work daunting. The snippets of code-most incomplete and unattended by screenshots to illustrate the result of the code's execution-obscure more often than they enlighten. A single code sample (p. 91, a book purchase order) is immediately recognizable and sensible. There are no figures, illustrations, or screenshots. Subsection headings are used conservatively. Readers are confronted with page after page of unbroken technical text, and occasionally oddly formatted text (in some of the code samples). The author concentrates an commercial products and projects. Library and agency initiatives-for example, the National Institutes of Health HL-7 and U.S. Department of Education's GEM project-are notable for their absence. The Library of Congress USMARC to SGML effort is discussed in chapter 1, which covers the relationship of XML to its parent SGML, the XML processor, and data type definitions, using MARC as its illustrative example. Chapter 3 addresses the stylesheet options for XML, including DSSSL, CSS, and XSL. The Document Style Semantics and Specification Language (DSSSL) was created for use with SGML, and pruned into DSSSL-Lite and further (DSSSL-online). Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) were created for use with HTML. Extensible Style Language (XSL) is a further revision (and extension) of DSSSL-o specifically for use with XML. Discussion of aural stylesheets and Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) round out the chapter.
    Tennant's collection covers a variety of well- and lesser-known XML-based pilot and prototype projects undertaken by libraries around the world. Some of the projects included are: Stanford's XMLMARC conversion, Oregon State's use of XML in interlibrary loaning, e-books (California Digital Library) and electronic scholarly publishing (University of Michigan), the Washington Research Library Consortium's XML-based Web Services, and using TEI Lite to support indexing (Halton Hills Public Library). Of the 13 projects presented, nine are sited in academe, three are state library endeavors, and one is an American public library initiative. The projects are gathered into sections grouped by seven library applications: the use of XML in library catalog records, interlibrary loan, cataloging and indexing, collection building, databases, data migration, and systems interoperability. Each project is introduced with a few paragraphs of background information. The project reports-averaging about 13 pages each-include project goals and justification, project description, challenges and lessons learned (successes and failures), future plans, implications of the work, contact information for individual(s) responsible for the project, and relevant Web links and resources. The clear strengths of this collection are in the details and the consistency of presentation. The concise project write-ups flow well and encourage interested readers to follow-up via personal contacts and URLs. The sole weakness is the price. XML in Libraries will excite and inspire institutions and organizations with technically adept staff resources and visionary leaders. Erik Ray has written a how-to book. Unlike most, Learning XML is not aimed at the professional programming community. The intended audience is readers familiar with a structured markup (HTML, TEX, etc.) and Web concepts (hypertext links, data representation). In the first six chapters, Ray introduces XMUs main concepts and tools for writing, viewing, testing, and transforming XML (chapter 1), describes basic syntax (chapter 2), discusses linking with XLink and XPointer (chapter 3), introduces Cascading Style Sheets for use with XML (chapter 4), explains document type definitions (DTDs) and schemas (chapter 5), and covers XSLT stylesheets and XPath (chapter 6). Chapter 7 introduces Unicode, internationalization and language support, including CSS and XSLT encoding. Chapter 8 is an overview of writing software for processing XML, and includes the Perl code for an XML syntax checker. This work is written very accessibly for nonprogrammers. Writers, designers, and students just starting to acquire Web technology skills will find Ray's style approachable. Concepts are introduced in a logical flow, and explained clearly. Code samples (130+), illustrations and screen shots (50+), and numerous tables are distributed throughout the text. Ray uses a modified DocBook DTD and a checkbook example throughout, introducing concepts in early chapters and adding new concepts to them. Readers become familiar with the code and its evolution through repeated exposure. The code for converting the "barebones DocBook" DTD (10 pages of code) to HTML via XSLT stylesheet occupies 19 pages. Both code examples allow the learner to sec an accumulation of snippets incorporated into a sensible whole. While experienced programmers might not need this type of support, nonprogrammers certainly do. Using the checkbook example is an inspired choice: Most of us are familiar with personal checking, even if few of us world build an XML application for it. Learning XML is an excellent textbook. I've used it for several years as a recommended text for adult continuing education courses and workshops."

    Rez. in: XML Magazin und Web Services 2003, H.1, S.13 (T. Weitzel): "Die Standards der XML-Familie sind nun auch in deutscher Übersetzung und Kommentierung verfügbar. Unter der Leitung von Stefan Mintert, der 1998 bereits die XML-Spezifikation selbst übersetzte, ist zusammen mit einem Team namhafter XML-Spezialisten und mit Unterstützung des deutsch-österreichischen W3C-Büros eine Sammlung aller wichtigen Specs aus der XML-Familie bei Addison-Wesley erschienen. Genauer gesagt handelt es sich um die kommentierten und übersetzten Versionen der Standards aus der W3C Activity Domain Architecture/XML, und zwar, in chronologischer Reihenfolge, XML, Namensräume, Verknüpfen von Stylesheets mit XML-Dokumenten, XPath, XSLT, XML Schema 0-3 (Einführung, Strukturen und Datentypen), XLink, XML Base und XML Information Set. Ziel des Projekts "edition W3C" war es, den Inhalt der jeweiligen Spezifikationen besser verständlich zu machen und so auch einen Beitrag zur Verbreitung der Standards zu leisten. Daher liegen die Übersetzungen nicht nur in Buchform vor, sondern sind sie über das normative Original hinaus in unterschiedlichem Umfang durch die jeweiligen Experten kommentiert. Insbesondere XPath ist so ausführlich und liebevoll mit vielen Erläuterungen und Abbildungen versehen, dass eine analoge Behandlung etwa der Schema-Specs sicherlich den Rahmen des Buchs gesprengt hätte. Das erhoffte Feedback auf die unterschiedlichen Übersetzungen und Kommentierungen soll helfen, das geplante zweite Buch der edition W3C-Reihe zu XHTML und CSS an den Leserwünschen auszurichten. Interessant ist, dass das Buch selbst in XML erstellt wurde (XMLspec-DTD). Wie schon in "XML in der Praxis" (zusammen mit Henning Behme) hat Stefan Mintert für die edition W3C in lehrbuchmäßiger Cross-Media-Manier XML eingesetzt. So konnte beispielsweise das Stichwortverzeichnis (www.edition-w3c.de/ gesamtindex.html) direkt per Single Source aus den jeweiligen Spezifikationen generiert werden. Eine Besonderheit des 1999 initiierten Projekts liegt darin, dass es sich um die einzige durch das W3C legitimierte PrintPublikation überhaupt handelt, nachdem 1997 das WWW Journal (W3J) bei O'Reilly eingestellt wurde. Darüber hinaus ist die edition W3 C das einzige offizielle, also vom örtlichen W3C-Büro unterstützte, Übersetzungsprojekt. Bedenkt man, dass das W3C-neben Boston-Sitze in Frankreich und Japan hat, stellt sich die Frage, ob dort Übersetzungen nicht noch viel stärker nachgefragt werden könnten und somit auch zur weiteren Durchsetzung der XML-Familie beitragen könnten. Die Übersetzungen sind, allerdings ohne Kommentierungen, auch über die Website des Projekts bei www.edition-w3c.de/ verlinkt. Dort gibt es auch weitere Übersetzungen, etwa zu XHTML oder CSS L2."

    Abstract
    Although Learning XML covers XML with a broad brush, it nevertheless presents the key elements of the technology with enough detail to familiarise the reader with the crucial markup language. This guide is brief enough to tackle in a weekend. Author Erik T Ray begins with an excellent summary of XML's history as an outgrowth of SGML and HTML. He outlines very clearly the elements of markup, demystifying concepts such as attributes, entities and namespaces with numerous clear examples. To illustrate a real-world XML application, he gives the reader a look at a document written in DocBook--a publicly available XML document type for publishing technical writings--and explains the sections of the document step by step. A simplified version of DocBook is used later in the book to illustrate transformation--a powerful benefit of XML. The all-important Document Type Definition (DTD) is covered in depth, but the still-unofficial alternative--XML Schema--is only briefly addressed. The author makes liberal use of graphical illustrations, tables and code to demonstrate concepts along the way, keeping the reader engaged and on track. Ray also gets into a deep discussion of programming XML utilities with Perl. Learning XML is a highly readable introduction to XML for readers with existing knowledge of markup and Web technologies, and it meets its goals very well--to deliver a broad perspective of XML and its potential.
