About this report

1. Introduction

XML is a markup language for presenting information as structured documents. The language has been

developed from SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language, ISO 8879) as an activity of the World Wide

Web Consortium (W3C). Since the publication of XML, a great number of various XML-related languages have

been developed by W3C and other standardization organizations. In this report our focus is in the languages

developed by W3C. Together with XML, we call this group of languages the XML family of languages. Thepurpose of this report is to give a concise overview of the languages and show the current state of their

development at W3C. The document introduces a classification for the languages and also serves as a portal

to the specifications of the languages.

Results of W3C development activities are published as W3C Technical Reports. The process of developing

technical reports is described in the W3C Process Document. This overview is based on the analysis of current

technical reports of four types: Working Drafts, Candidate Recommendations, Proposed Recommendations,

and Recommendations. The four types differ in their maturity from lower to higher:

A Working Draft (WD) represents work in progress, it is a draft document and may be updated, replaced

or obsoleted by other document any time.

A Candidate Recommendation (CD) has received significant review from its immediate technicalcommunity. The document is an explicit call for implementation and technical feedback.

A Proposed Recommendation (PR) represents consensus within the group that produced it and hasbeen proposed by the Director to the Advisory Committee for review.

A Recommendation (R) represents consensus within W3C and is considered to define a Web standard.W3C makes every effort to maintain its Recommendations (e.g., by tracking errata, providing testbed

applications, helping to create test suites, etc.) and to encourage widespread implementation. The

practice in W3C is to collect all known errors in a Recommendation into an errata document referred to

in the Recommendation. If a need for modifications is identified, a new version or a new edition is

published. A new Recommendation version or edition is often, but not always, stated to supersede the

earlier. In principle, W3C may rescind the Recommendation if it becomes outdated and modifications are

not considered useful. So far, however, W3C has not published technical reports labelled as Rescinded



Recommendation. Instead, at least one Recommendation (XML Events) has been versioned to a GroupNote, meaning in practice that the Web standard has become obsolete.

2. Classification of the Languages

Considering the purpose of the XML-related languages developed at W3C, four main categories can beidentified. The first category consists of the different versions of XML itself. The other three categories arecalled in this classification XML Accessories, XML Transducers, and XML Applications:

XML Accessories are languages which are intended for wide use to extend the capabilities specified in XML.Examples of XML accessories are the XML Schema language extending the definition capability of XML DTDsand the XML Names extending the naming mechanism to allow in a single XML document element andattribute names that are defined for and used by multiple software modules.

XML Transduces are languages which are intended for transducing some input XML data into some outputform. Examples of XML transducers are the style sheet languages CSS and XSL intended to produce anexternal presentation from some XML data, and XSLT intended for transforming XML documents into otherXML documents. A transducer language is associated with some kind of processing model which defines theway output is derived from input.

XML Applications are languages which define constraints for a class of XML data for some special applicationarea. Examples of XML applications are MathML defined for mathematical data and XML-Signature intendedfor digital signatures. XML accessories and XML transducers are often XML-based languages and thus alsoXML applications. In this report a language is classified as an XML application only if it has not been included inthe accessories or transducers.

The languages in the XML applications category can be further divided into four subcategories according to theapplication area:

Non-textual forms of data like mathematical data or voiceWeb publishing, to replace HTML by XML-based representation formatMetadata and Semantic WebWeb communication and services.

The following sections introduce the languages according to the classification given above. The sections from 4to 6 include tables listing the specification documents and those W3C Technical Reports which are closelyrelated to the specifications (e.g. requirements and use cases). In the tables there are links to the specificationsand other reports as they were at the date of this report. In cases were the target of a link in this overviewdocument would be outdated, a link to the latest version of the W3C document is provided in the target. Thetables also show the current phase of the specification process (WD = Working Draft, CR = CandidateRecommendation, PR = Proposed Recommendation, or R = Recommendation). For Recommendations, allpublished versions and editions are listed to show their evolution. Thus the tables include alsoRecommendations that are superseded by later versions or editions. The languages in each table arelisted chronologically according to their first publication as Web standards. A brief textual description isprovided for most of the languages. A more detailed decription can be found in the specification documents.

3. XML

The XML development started in 1996. The use of HTML (HyperText Markup Language) as the publishinglanguage of the Internet had quickly expanded in the beginning of 1990’s. There was a need to find anagreement about a generic markup language straightforwardly usable over the Internet. SGML (StandardGeneralized Markup Language), published as an ISO standard in 1986, had been widely accepted as a genericmarkup language for digital documents, but the large collection of rules in SGML and the number of differentoptional features caused problems in the implementation and utilization of SGML. A goal in the XMLdevelopment was to restrict the rules of SGML and thus to ease the writing of programs for processingdocuments.

The first W3C Recommendation for XML 1.0 was published in February 1998. The later editions of thespecification incorporate the changes dictated by the errata documents. The new versio XML 1.1 waspublished as a Recommendation in February 2004. The major changes in the new version concern the



Unicode character code and its use in XML names. Versioning of the Unicode specification had causedproblems in character encoding of XML 1.0 names because the characters in XML 1.0 names were restrictedto characters in Unicode 2. In XML 1.1 the syntax of names is specified to allow future changes in Unicode.The list below shows XML specifications published as Recommendations so far.

- Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0, Feb 1998 - Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Second Edition), Oct 2000 - Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Third Edition), Feb 2004 - Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Fourth Edition), Aug 2006 - Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Fifth Edition), Nov 2008- Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.1, Feb 2004 - Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.1 (Second Edition), Aug 2006

The XML specifications describe the concrete syntax of XML documents, and partially the behaviour of an XMLprocessor, i.e., a software module used to read XML documents and to provide access to their content andstructure. Slightly different abstract models for information available in XML documents have been introducedat W3C:

The XML Information Set defines an abstract data set called Infoset. The definitions in the specificationare intended for other specifications that need to refer to information in a well-formed XML document.The XPath Data Model is included in the XML Path Language (XPath) to allow addressing parts of anXML document.Document Object Model (DOM) is an application programming interface for XML and HTML documents.It defines the way data in a document is structured, accessed and manipulated.XQuery and XPath data model defines the information contained in the input to an XSLT or XQueryprocessor.

All of the four kinds of models describe an XML document as a tree structure but there are differences in thetrees and in the information available in the trees.

XML is intended to be universal format for data on the Web. To support references to Internet resources, theuse of different character sets, and the use of different natural languages of the world, the XML specificationuses a set of specifications introduced by other development authorities than W3C. These specifications definethe codes for characters (Unicode, ISO/IEC 10646) and languages (IETF BCP 47) as well as the syntax foridentifying resources (IETF RFC 3986). The central concepts related to characters and their encoding aredefined in the W3C Recommendation titled Character Model for the World Wide Web 1.0: Fundamentals. Thepurpose of the character model is to support the transmittal and processing of the characters used around theworld in a well-defined and well-understood way.


4. XML Accessories

XML accessories are languages which are intended for wide use to extend the capabilities specified in XML.Table 1 below lists the current XML accessories. In the table, as well as in the subsequent tables, allpublished versions and editions of Recommendations are listed to show their evolution. Thus thetables include also Recommendations that are superseded by later versions or editions.

XML Names is intended to facilitate the use of qualified element and attribute names in XML documents, inorder to prevent name collisions. A qualified name consists of two parts: a namespace name as a prefix and alocal part. The namespace name is identified by a URI reference. XML Names is used in most otherspecifications of the XML family. A specification related to names is the specification for the attribute xml:id asan ID type attribute in XML specifications.

XPath defines how to address parts in XML documents. In support of this primary purpose it also providesbasic facilities for manipulation of strings, numbers, and booleans. Three versions of XPath have beenpublished so far. XPointer defines fragment identifiers for URI references. It is built on top of the XPathlanguage. XPointer extends XPath to allow addressing points and ranges as well as whole nodes, locatinginformation by string matching, and using addressing expressions in URI references as fragment identifiers.The language has been specified in three separate documents: a basic framework, XPointer element() foraddressing elements by their position in the element tree, and XPointer xmlns() for binding namespace prefixesto namespace name.



XML Schema extends the definition capabilities of XML, in particular, it allows the use of a variety of data types,e.g. boolean, float, int, date, and their validation in conforming software. XML Schema is intended to constrain

XML documents but the schemas themselves are not necessarily written in XML. There is however an XML

notation for the schema language. Three levels of conformance for schema aware processors are defined:

minimally conforming processors, conformance to the XML representation of schemas, and fully conforming

processors.

XLink is intended for description and creation of links between Internet resources. The links can be simpleunidirectional links similar to HTML, as well as relationships among more than two resources. Links can also

reside in a location separate from the linked resources, and they can be associated with metadata. XML Baseprovides a base URI service for XLink. The purpose of the service is to resolve relative URIs in links to external

resources like images, applets, form-processing programs, and style sheets. Internationalization Tag Set (ITS)is defined to be used with schemas to support the internationalization and localization of schemas and

documents.

5. XML Transducers

The XML transducer languages are intended for transducing some input XML data into some output form.Table 2 lists the XML transducer languages. They include languages for rendering (CSS and XSL),transformation (XSLT), canonicalization (Canonical XML), merging (XInclude), querying (XQuery), optimization(EXI), and pipelining (XProc).

CSS is a language for specifying style sheets for any structured documents. It has been defined on three levelsthat build on the previous. CSS level 1 CSS1 published as a Recommendation in 1996 was developedespecially for HTML documents. In developing CSS level 2, XML as a notation for structured documents wastaken especially into account. Both CSS1 and CSS2 were defined in one Recommendation document. Forlevel 3 instead there is not a single specification document. Level 3 consists of modules built on level 2.Another language for rendering XML documents is XSL. It is a style sheet language especially designed forXML documents. It uses XML syntax for style sheets. XSL contains the transformation language XSLT as itscomponent. XSLT can be used also independently of XSL to describe transformations of XML documents.

Canonical XML defines a process to create a specified physical representation, a canonical form, to an XMLdocument or a document subset. The process is called canonicalization.XInclude is a language for specifyingmerging of a set of XML documents represented as Infosets to a new Infoset.

XQuery is the W3C language for querying collections of XML data both locally and on the Web, be it physicallystored in XML or viewed as XML via middleware. XQuery is based on an earlier introduced XML querylanguage called Quilt, which in turn is built by pulling together features of several other XML query languagesas well as features of the relational query language SQL and the object-oriented query language OQL. XQueryis a functional language and the input and output of a query is an ordered hierarchy of nodes, as described inthe XQuery and XPath Data Model. The semantics of the various types of XQuery expressions are describedinformally in the XQuery specification document. More formally the semantics is described in the XQuery andXPath Formal Semantics document.

The development of XML Fragment Interchange seems to have freezed.The Candidate Recommendation isfrom year 2001. The language is intended to provide capabilities to specify a part of a whole XML document asa fragment to be sent to a receiver.

6. XML Applications

The languages intended for XML documents on some specific application areas are divided into four

subcategories and the links to the specifications are correspondingly provided in four tables. The first

subcategory (Table 5) consists of languages intended for non-textual forms of data, e.g., mathematical data,

multimedia data, animation, vector graphics, ruby, and voice. The second subcategory (Table 6) consists of the

languages intended for Web publishing, to replace HTML. The third subcategory (Table 7) includes languages

to describe metadata and in particular, languages for the Semantic Web. Finally, the fourth subcategory (Table

8) consists of the XML applications related to Web communication and services.

6.1 Non-textual Data

Table 3 shows the XML applications for non-textual forms of data. SMIL is a language for integrating a set ofindependent multimedia objects into a syncronized multimedia presentation. It can be used to describe

temporal behaviour, layout of the presentation on the screen, and links between media objects. The second

version of SMIL supports the reuse of SMIL syntax and semantics in other XML-based languages. SMILAnimation defines an animation framework for XML documents. It is based upon the SMIL timing model, withsome extensions. MathML is a language for describing mathematical notation. The goal of MathML is to eableencoding mathematical material for the Web. The Ruby Annotation is a markup language for ruby, short runs oftext alongside the base text, typically used in East Asian documents to indicate pronunciation or to provide a

short annotation. SVG is a language for describing two-dimensional vector and mixed vector/raster graphics inXML. To enable the use of speech on the Web and the access to the Web using spoken interaction W3C has

developed a set of markup language: VoiceXML, Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML), and CallControl eXtensible Markup Language (CCXML). TTML serves as an interchange format between authoringsystems where timing information is needed. InkML is a markup language to represent ink entered with anelectronic pen or stylus. The language allows the input and processing of handwriting, gestures, scetches,

music, and other notational languages in Web-based applications. EMMA is a markup language intended fordescribing the interpretation of user input, for example, transcription of raw signal derived from a speech or

pen input into words. The latest standard in this group is EmotionML that provides markup rules to expresshuman emotions.

6.2 Web Publishing

Table 4 lists the languages developed to enable Web publishing using XML. XHMTL is a reformulation ofHTML 4 in XML 1.0. The original XHMTL language has later been modularized and the minimal set of modulesrequired is defined in XHTML Basic. XForms is a language to support the use of interactive forms on the Web.X-Forms can be integrated to other markup languages, such as XMTML, but also to others. XHTML-Print is amember in the module-based XHTML family languages. It provides a simple page description format for low-cost printers. In October W3C published a new version of HTML called HTML5 with new features to supportWeb application authors and interoperability. The specification defines an abstract language and memorypresentation called "DOM HTML". The specification also defines two concrete syntaxes for the language, onebeing the HTML syntax and the other the XHTML syntax. The XHTML syntax of HTML5 is called XHTML5.

6.3 Metadata and Semantic Web

Metadata is necessary to manage the data resources of the Web. The majority of the standards developed by

W3C for metadata support adding semantic metadata to the Web and thus transforming the Web towards

Semantic Web . Table 5 shows the languages important for the Semantic Web. The major idea in the

languages is to standardize rules for adding semantic metadata to the Web. RDF is a general model for the

metadata describing Web resources (or resources in general). The concrete syntax of RDF is given by XML

and requires also the XML namespace facility. The RDF Schema language allows the use of RDF to describe

RDF vocabularies, and especially to provide information about the interpretation of the statements given in an

RDF data model. OWL is a semantic markup language for publishing and sharing ontologies on the Web. It is

derived from the DAML+OIL ontology language. Every OWL document is also an RDF document. Markup rules



called GRDDL enables declaring an XML document to include RDF compatible data. A special query languagecalled SPARQL has been developed for querying RDF data.

6.4 Web Communication and Services

The languages of Table 6 are intended for Web communication and services. XML-Signature defines syntax

and processing rules for XML digital signatures. It is intended to provide integrity, message authentication and

signer authentication services for data, be it located within the XML that includes the signature or elsewhere.

P3P stands for the Platform for Privacy Preferences and it enables Web sites to express their privacy practices

in a standard format. The XML Encryption syntax defines a special element called EncryptedData to represent

the result of encryption in XML form. SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) is a lightweight XML-based

protocol for exchange of information in a decentralized, distributed environment. CC/PP (Composite

Capabilities/Preference Profiles) describes a framework for specifying how client devices express their

capabilities and preferences to the server that originates content. XKMS is a protocol for distributing and

registering public keys, suitable for use in conjuction with XML-Signature. The language to define Web service

interfaces and functionalities is called WSDL. Another language called SML (Service Modeling Language) is

intended for creating and constraining complex and interrelated IT services more generally.
