SGML Lessons Learned for the Software Technology for Adaptable, Reliable Systems (STARS) Program
Abstract
SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) is an international standard for representing the elements and structure of electronically stored text. SGML uses Document Type Definitions (DTD's) to unify the structure of various kinds of documents. This document summarizes the experience of building a new DTD and discusses the lessons learned in the performance of this task as well as describe the options available to SGML users and the impact of SGML on STARS contractors and subcontractors. Recommendations will be made on SGML products for subcontractors to use in document preparation as well as on support issues within the STARS program SGML software products fall into several categories (examples are in parenthesis): 1) DTD based SGML editors (XGML Check Mark, Text Write, Author/Editor); 2) parsers (XGML Validator, Parse Station); 3) formatting systems (DL Pager, Soft Quad Publishing System); 4) SGML Publishing Systems (Compugraphic's Automated Publishing System); and 5) conversion products (Fast Tag, XGML Translator).
