XML is Helping to Solve Real Estate Problem
A key application for the real estate industry is using XML to promote the
exchange and aggregation of information for buyers of residential properties.
Handling Binary Data in XML Documents
Binary data can present some interesting problems. This article looks at ways to
support binary data such as images in XML documents.
VML and PGML: A Comparison
PGML and VML each use a different syntax to represent graphics but the underlying
models are very similar.
Vector-based Binary Formats
Binary vector graphics formats such as those used in Macromedia's Flash are not
based on XML, and tend to be proprietary formats. Macromedia has announced that the
Flash
file format will be made available as a potential standard.
VML
The Vector Markup Language submission is supported by Microsoft and likely will
be deployed in IE5.
CGM and Web Schematics
CGM is an established graphics standard for the CAD industry. It has proven too
complex for the Web. The Web Schematics submission looks at a much simpler version
for 2D
diagrams.
XHTML: Three Namespaces or One?
It sounds like a religious debate from the days of the Byzantine empire. Whether
XHTML should have three namespaces or one has been a question that's consuming the
top minds
in the XML community for the last month.
PGML
The Precision Graphics Markup Language is an XML-based format based on the
PostScript imaging model.
Structuring Graphical Data
Vector graphics differs from raster graphics in the way the graphical data
structures are represented. Vector graphic formats can provide more information about
the
graphic and its context.
XML and Vector Graphics
A standard vector graphics format for the Web will provide lightweight Web
graphics with more functionality and flexibility.
Monitoring Updates with XML and Java
