Note: This document is no longer actively maintained. It now serves as a partial record of XML activity in 1997-1998.

The following listing of contact addresses represents occasional effort to register contact addresses. An attempt is made here to maintain a modest list of addresses for entities within the SGML orbit. Omissions are fortuitous only, and may be rectified by the submission of a contact address form or its email equivalent (see above). The owners of the addresses are requested to assist by sending notification of address changes. For other efforts of this kind, see:

1. Seybold Publications. Seybold maintains a comprehensive online Vendor Directory that is likely to contain an address for any major SGML 'publisher'. The Seybold Vendor Directory is published in print format annually within Seybold's SSR series, but the updated online document is maintained in public view in the interim. *Perhaps taken offline now: fetch the latest text version of the Vendor Directory from Seybold -- but if you can't connect, here's a version from February 14, 1996 [mirror copy made August 08, 1996], and an older mirror copy from December 01, 1995.
2. Steve Pepper's Whirlwind Guide - List of SGML/XML Vendors
3. OASIS Member Lists. Many members are SGML/XML vendors and service providers. See: the membership listing.
4. Bob DuCharme's list of DBMS vendors who claim to support SGML. [local archive copy]
5. SGML Directory from Exeter University. As of April 11, 1995, the online directory listed some 64 companies which offer SGML software/services. The Directory is valuable in that many of the entries provide information about SGML software in significant detail -- although some information (collected in 1994) is now dated. [local archive copy]

The following supplemental listing is unfortunately somewhat uneven -- for which I apologize. It is supplied here because it adds a few details: (a) some electronic addresses (HTTP, GOPHER, FTP, or EMAIL links) that are relevant to the named entities; (b) additional addresses, in alphabetical (ASCII) sort order; (c) brief overview of the activities surrounding an SGML-supporting entity. In a short time, we hope, all SGML resource providers will have Web home pages with complete information so that only terse pointers to them are necessary in a document of this kind.

Note on IBM:
A summary of IBM's corporate commitment and contribution to SGML much deserves to be written. I have collected some historical data for this summary, but have not yet finished the writeup. Perhaps more than any, IBM Corporation pioneered technologies that demonstrated the value of descriptive markup. Charles Goldfarb's extensive efforts to develop the ISO 8879 SGML Standard were supported by IBM. IBM has also contributed significant pieces of SGML software into the public domain, including ARCSGML (IBM Almaden Research Center SGML Parser, by Charles Goldfarb - predecessor of the SGMLS parser developed by James Clark) and YASP (IBM Yorktown Advanced Parser, by Pierre Richard and others).
