What SGML Can Teach Us About XML & the Web.
CMSWatch: If you had 30 seconds to explain the rationale for XML to a non-technical business manager, what do you say?
Harvey: Repurposing of information is typically the biggest advantage of going to XML. You can take it to traditional paper, you can take it to Web, you can take it to wireless applications, and you can take it eBooks.
CMSWatch: Can’t you go from Microsoft Word to all those formats?
Harvey: No. There’s no inherent structure in Word. If you export a Word file, you’re going to get RTF or HTML. And if you’re trying to get some sort of complex information from the data, Word just isn’t going to do it for you. [via More Like This WebLog]
