Subject: Re: [oasis-member-discuss] RE: XML - What, How, Why?

Alan,
Understood.
"Try it here" is definately something we could
think about for the OASIS site too - I like Tim Brays old example with the
XML text for an article, and then the CSS rendered content. We could adapt
that for an OASIS document - and show that.
http://ebxmlforum.org with news items being
feed via an RSS server - and using an easy online editing interface - no
knowledge of XML needed.
As you say so much
of it now is invisible....
Thanks, DW

Subject: [oasis-member-discuss] RE: XML -
What, How, Why?
David, et al.
As a wise man once said,
"I feel your pain". I use XML regularly as part of the work at Science.
But trying to explain the what, how, or why of XML to my colleagues is
incredibly difficult. The problem seems to be the abstract nature of XML, and
its inherent invisibility.
The way I've gotten around this
obstacle is by showing examples of XML we use in day-to-day operations.
And I've seen more 'a-ha' reactions with these examples than with straight
explanations, even in the form of bullet points.
