BNET Business Dictionary
Business Definition for: XML
- extensible markup language: a meta-language that describes rules for defining tagged mark-up languages. XML is similar to HTML, except that it is intended to deliver data to a variety of applications and is designed to be read by the applications run by a system, whereas HTML is intended to be read from a Web browser by a person.
XML is an emerging world standard for metadata, delivering a common approach by which metadata for content is collected. So in order to achieve a common standard, organizations in a particular industry would agree to structure their documents in the same way. For example, finance companies would agree to use the same methods of creating documentation such as morning notes, which are short analyses issued daily. The morning notes would all use the same layout structure, and have the same metadata such as author name, date, ticker symbols, buy and sell rating. Because of this common structure, anyone receiving these morning notes would be able to search and interrogate them in a far more comprehensive manner.
