Up element XML Structural Construct Updated
XML structural construct. An XML element consists of a start tag, and end tag, and the information between the tags, which is often referred to as the contents. Elements used in an XML file are described by a DTD or schema, either of which can provide a description of the structure of the data.
Each document contains one or more elements, the boundaries of which are either delimited by start-tags and end-tags, or, for empty elements by an empty-element tag. Each element has a type, identified by name, and may have a set of attributes. Each attribute has a name and a value.
Up ElementDef XML Structural Construct Updated New
The resource of type ElementDef is a detailed structure descriptor. The properties of this resource provides constraints governing elements in the XML document. Implicitly, any node which is the value of an ElementDef property is of type ElementDef ; however, there is typically no value in indicating this explicitly with an RDF:InstanceOf property.
Each ElementDef must have a Type property. This must be unique within the DCD

Up empty tag XML Term
XML has a shorthand for an empty element: Ending a tag with a /> signals that the element has no contents, and does not have an end tag. For example, the following two lines are equivalent:

Up entities XML Data Type Updated New

Up entity XML Structural Construct
XML structural construct. A character sequence or well-formed XML hierarchy associated with a name. The entity can be referred to by an entity reference to insert the entity's contents into the tree at that point. The function of an XML entity is similar to that of a macro definition. Entity declarations occur in the DTD..
Up entity - primitive type XML Data Type Updated New
Represents the XML ENTITY type.
Up entity reference XML Term
XML structural construct. Refers to the content of a named entity. The name is delimited by the ampersand and semicolon characters; for example, &bookname; and <. It is used in much the same way as a macro.
Another example:
once defined in the DTD, you could now use &vbxml; in your XML document instead of the entity contents "The Visual Basic Extensible Markup Language List".
If the text contents of the entity are too long for an entity tag, you can use the SYSTEM keyword in your entity declaration as in ...
. This would allow you to refer to the entire TopXML Homepage with the tiny &vbxml; tag in your XML document.
Up enumeration XML Data Type Updated New
Represents an enumerated type.
Up equivalence DOM Term
Two nodes are equivalent if they have the same node type and same node name. Also, if the nodes contain data, that must be the same. Finally, if the nodes have attributes then collection of attribute names must be the same and the attributes corresponding by name must be equivalent as nodes. Two nodes are deeply equivalent if they are equivalent, the child node lists are equivalent are equivalent as NodeList objects, and the pairs of equivalent attributes must in fact be deeply equivalent. Two NodeList objects are equivalent if they have the same length, and the nodes corresponding by index are deeply equivalent. Two NamedNodeMap objects are equivalent if they are have the same length, they have same collection of names, and the nodes corresponding by name in the maps are deeply equivalent. Two DocumentType nodes are equivalent if they are equivalent as nodes, have the same names, and have equivalent entities and attributes NamedNodeMap objects.
Up escape XML Term Updated New
'Escaping' is the technique of replacing certain character withing text with 'escaped', or replacement, characters. This is done to ensure that parsers do not fail where certain characters are not allowed within a particular document. This can be done in two ways in XML: the use of character entities, or by enclosing the text block in a CDATA section.

Up event handler XML Term

Up event propagation DOM Term
also known as event bubbling
This is the idea that an event can affect one object and a set of related objects. Any of the potentially affected objects can block the event or substitute a different one (upward event propagation). The event is broadcast from the node at which it originates to every parent node.
Up Extensible Linking Language XML Term Updated
[See Software: XLink/XPointer engines]

Up Extensible Log Format XML Language/Protocol
Up Extensible Markup Language XML Language/Protocol Updated
W3C (World Wide Web Consortium). Extensible Markup Language (XML) Recommendation. Version 1.0. [Cambridge, MA].
[See Software: browsers ; editors ; document management utilities ; middleware ; SGML/XML parsers ; XML parsers]
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is the universal language for data on the Web. It gives developers the power to deliver structured data from a wide variety of applications to the desktop for local computation and presentation. XML allows the creation of unique data formats for specific applications. It is also an ideal format for server-to-server transfer of structured data. A subset of SGML that provides a uniform method for describing and exchanging structured data in an open, text-based format, and delivers this data by use of the standard HTTP protocol.
What is the relationship between XML and the World Wide Web Consortium?The W3C has an active XML Working Group. Microsoft was one of the co-founders of this group in June 1996, and since then numerous industry players have joined, including Netscape Communications Corp, IBM and Oracle.
What is the status of XML with the W3C? XML version 1.0 recently moved from the proposed recommendation phase to the recommendation phase, which is the last step in the approval process at the W3C, and is a very stable standard.
Up Extensible Stylesheet Language XML Language/Protocol
W3C (World Wide Web Consortium). Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) Working Draft. Version 1.0. [Cambridge, MA].
[See Software:XSL engines ; XSL editors]
A language used to transform XML-based data into HTML or other presentation formats, for display in a Web browser. Differs from cascading style sheets in that it can present information in an order different from that in which it was received. XSL will also be able to generate CSS along with HTML. XSL consists of two parts, a vocabulary for transformation and the XSL Formatting Objects.
What is XSL? What can you do with XSL today?
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) working draft for XSL divides the language into two main parts: transformation and formatting semantics. This release supports the transformation part of the W3C XSL specification. Microsoft is tracking the W3C working draft and will be updating this implementation to match the final W3C recommendation.
XSL is defined as an XML grammar that consists of a set of XSL elements. This grammar can be used to transform XML documents into HTML or XML documents.
You can use XSL for direct browsing of XML files and from the XML DOM. The XML DOM transformNode method supports the use of XSL Elements to perform transformations. The DOM selectNodes and selectSingleNode methods support the XSL pattern-matching syntax that enables sophisticated queries for nodes within a particular context of the overall tree structure.
Where does XSL stand in the W3C?
XSL is currently in the working draft stage in the W3C. Microsoft plans to update its XSL code to track changes as it moves forward in the standard-development process.
Up external HTML Term
A link to a node in a different database.
Up ExternalEntityDef XML Structural Construct Updated New
Identify an entity which may be invoked via reference within such documents. The value of these properties must be a Node (in RDF terms), provided in the RDF syntax with subelement or URI. The resource which is the property value must be identified by the class mechanism as an InternalEntityDef or ExternalEntityDef.
