This week's subject is XML. Not having any background in mark-up languages, I did not understand the readings well. Using my limited experience with HTML, I was able to comprehend how the tags define the structure of an XML document. The other aspects of XML mentioned in the readings I did not comprehend until examples were given during the lecture.
I now understand how the DTD determines what tags are used and how they are structured. This flexibility concerning the naming of tags an aspect of XML that I appreciate. As long as one knows how to struture the DTD, there is no necessity to learn a standardized set of tags such as those used for HTML. At this time, I am still learning about the unique characteristics and applications of XML, so it is difficult for me to state anything else about the subject.
