XML has quietly established itself as the foundation of publishing content on the internet and throughout the publishing content workflow. The standard makes it possible for diverse content such as scholarly journals, newspapers and magazines to be distributed, searched, accessed, and linked over the internet. In addition to these materials the various XML schema now available make it possible to utilize XML to publish information in wide-ranging areas such as news syndication, mathematics and financial data. This wealth of unstructured content is now structured and discoverable thanks to these XML standards.
Another vast amount of unstructured data that exists today and affects each of our lives is the mountain of health record data that up until now was available in paper format only. With the leadership of the HL7 (Health Level 7, Inc.) which has created standards for health information, these XML-based markup standards are leading the way to personal health records being available online for all of us in the near future.
