Appendix C. XML-Related Standardization Activities

Since the XML 1.0 Recommendation was issued in February 1998, a lot of related standard activities have begun. This appendix describes some of these activities, including the ones mentioned in this book. Almost all the activities belong to one of the following standardization bodies, and some of them are joint works.

• World Wide Web Consortium (W3C): http://www.w3.org

• List of all the documents submitted/published by W3C: http://www.w3.org/TR

• Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF): http://www.ietf.org

• International Organization for Standardization (ISO): http://www.iso.ch/

• Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS): http://www.oasis-open.org/

Note that the status of these standards documents is as of March 2002 and may have been changed after that. Please check the standard body's home pages for the latest information.
