Up Cascading Style Sheet XML Language/Protocol Updated
Formatting descriptions that provide augmented control over presentation and layout of HTML and XML elements. CSS can be used for describing the formatting behavior of simply structured XML documents, but does not provide a display structure that deviates from the structure of the source data.
With XSL, it is possible to generate presentation structures (in HTML for instance) that are very different from the original XML data structures.
Differences between CSS and XSL:
CSS XSL
Can be used with HTML? yes no
Can be used with XML? yes yes
Transformation language? no yes
Syntax CSS XML

The standards, formerly used primarily outside the United States, have been accepted almost universally since the advent of the 2400 bits per second (bps) modems. Not all are relevant to computer users. Examples include: V.21, V.22, V.22bis, V.23, V.26, V.26bis, V.27, V.27bis, V.27ter, V.29, V.32, V.32bis, V.34, V.42, V.42bis.

Up character entity MISC Term Updated New
Up character set XML Term Updated
A mapping of a set of characters to their numeric values. All information in XML is Unicode text. This includes the contents of elements and element names themselves. As a result, XML supports representation of all international character sets. Unicode can be transmitted directly as 16-bit characters, but more commonly is transferred using an encoding that is more convenient or compact for certain languages. XML supports a range of encodings (the default is UTF-8), subject only to the restriction that an entire document must share the same encoding.
Here are three lists of XML entities for various useful characters. They are the same as the corresponding HTML entities, but in XML format.
XML Latin-1 entities
XML Symbol entities
XML Special entities
ISO-8859-1 Entities

Up Common Information Model MISC Term
The DMTF has developed a Common Information Model (CIM) to take advantage of object-based management tools and provide a common way to describe and share management information enterprise-wide. Using HMMS as an input, the new model can be populated by DMI 2.0 and other management data suppliers, including SNMP and CMIP, and implemented in multiple object-based execution models such as JMAPI, CORBA and HMM. CIM will enable applications from different developers on different platforms to describe and share management data, so users have interoperable management tools that span applications, systems and networks, including the Internet.
See : http://www.dmtf.org/cim/cim_xml/index.html

Up compression XML Term Updated
Reducing the number of bytes required to store a piece of information.
This makes computer data smaller so less is needed to represent the same information and, consequently, the information takes up less disk or file space and may be transmitted in less time.
XML compresses extremely well due to the repetitive nature of the tags used to describe data structure. The need to compress XML data will be application-dependent and largely a function of the amount of data being moved between server and client. Benchmarks will be provided in the future to help determine whether compression is necessary. XML can use the compression standard in HTTP 1.1 servers and clients.

Up context DOM Term
A context specifies an access pattern (or path): a set of interfaces which give you a way to interact with a model. For example, imagine a model with different colored arcs connecting data nodes. A context might be a sheet of colored acetate that is placed over the model allowing you a partial view of the total information in the model.
Up convenience DOM Term
A convenience method is an operation on an object that could be accomplished by a program consisting of more basic operations on the object. Convenience methods are usually provided to make the API easier and simpler to use or to allow specific programs to create more optimized implementations for common operations. A similar definition holds for a convenience property.

1. Expansion of internal text entities.
2. Expansion of external entities.
3. Model augmentation with style-specified generated text.
4. Execution of style-specified reordering.

A browser might only be able to provide access to a cooked model, while an editor might provide access to a cooked or the initial structure model (also known as the uncooked model) for a document.
Up cookie MISC Term Updated New
Small bits of data that a Web page asks a browser to store on a user's computer, either in RAM or on the hard drive. Cookies have become a valuable way to keep track of a visitor's movements on your

An error-checking procedure for data transmission. The sending device performs a complex calculation, generating a number based upon the data being transmitted, and sends that number to the receiving device. The receiving device performs the same calculation after transmission. If the results match, the transmission succeeds. If the numbers don't match, it means the message was received in an altered state, and the data may be incorrect.
