W3C's interoperable XML toolkit
XML is a key technology to ensure interoperability
But XML, by itself, is not really useful... we need to
have datatypes, validation
(DTD-s, Schemas, ...)
mix XML applications
(Namespaces)
link
(XLink, XBase,...)
compose/decompose
(XInclude, Fragments, ...)
refer to XML data content
(XPath, Query, ...)
transform
(XSLT)
encrypt, decrypt, sign
(Signature, Encryption, ...)
interact, script
(DOM, Events, ...)
etc
W3C is active in all these areas
