XML is Ten!
2008-02-12:
Ten years ago, on 10 February 1998, W3C published Extensible Markup Language (XML)
1.0 as a W3C Recommendation. W3C is marking the ten-year
anniversary of XML by celebrating "XML10" and
extending thanks to the dedicated communities -- including people who have
participated in W3C's XML groups and mailing lists, the SGML community, and
xml-dev -- whose efforts have created a successful family of technologies
based on the solid XML 1.0 foundation. The success of XML is a strong
indicator of how dedicated individuals, working within the W3C Process, can
engage with a larger community to produce industry-changing results. "Today
we celebrate the success of open standards in preserving Web data from
proprietary ownership," said Jon Bosak, who led the W3C Working Group that
produced XML 1.0. Read the press
release and testimonials.
