Note: This document is no longer actively maintained.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).

Kluwer Academic Publishers

Kluwer Academic Publishers has been making great strides toward SGML-based publishing, including, most significantly, provision for accepting documents in conforming SGML and using the encoded text directly (not a re-keyed version, with errors!) as input in the publishing process. According to the Home Page: "Some of the new services we will be adding shortly are a true SGML-based publications catalogue accessible via the Web, journal table of contents, author/editor services, and much more."

Kluwer was "first to sign [an] agreement with Pica, Centre for Library Automation in Leiden, on electronic access of full text journal articles within the WebDOC pilot project. Within the WebDOC project, initiated by Pica, a number of Dutch and German academic libraries will cooperate with commercial publishers to offer their endusers access to electronic journal articles."

Novell

Novell has done a number of interesting things with SGML, including the preparation of its online manuals in SGML under Electronic Book Technologies' DynaText searching and browsing software. An application more interesting to humanities scholars is the preparation of some literary texts in SGML encoding: the Bible (Old Testament, New Testament), Quran, the Book of Mormon, and the complete plays of Shakespeare. These texts and a runtime version of DynaText are publicly available on the Internet. Pointers to these materials are given in the list that follows.

• Read a copy of the announcement for the publicly available SGML literary texts
• Similar announcement in file 'ANNOUNCE' (August 8, 1994) from the Netcom FTP server
• Get the browser software from Novell's main FTP server or possibly from Netcom
• Get the texts themselves ("freetexts") from Netcom
• Text file showing the Freetext files in a directory listing
• Files via Exeter
• See also the link from the SGML Open Member list
• Email queries about the data or its current location to Novell Electronic Publishing

Oracle Corporation

In late 1998, Oracle Corporation "announced sweeping support for the eXtensible Markup Language (XML), the cross-platform data language now being defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), and the clear emerging standard for defining, representing, and dynamically sharing information across the Internet. Integrating XML into Oracle's Internet platform will make it dramatically easier for companies to exchange and integrate information stored in databases and then repurpose the information for building Internet applications. Comprehensive support for designing, building, deploying, and managing XML applications will be fully integrated into the Oracle8i database, Oracle Application Server 4.0, and Oracle's Internet development tools."

[Earlier description]: "SGML Designer is an application development environment that provides a GUI to help users map SGML documents into Oracle Book. Although Oracle Book itself provides conversion scripts to map SGML documents based on popular DTDs, SGML Designer enables users to create a far greater range of scripts.

SGML Systems Engineering

Re: SGMLC. "SGMLC is an event-driven implementation of a major subset of the C programming language. It has been designed specifically for processing SGML documents, and the events which are recognised are those which may occur within a system when processing SGML documents; before, during and after the loading of individual documents. Statements written in the SGMLC language may be associated with each event. When a recognised event occurs the associated statements are executed. SGMLC contains a large number of functions designed specifically to process SGML data structures."

• See: "Mosby's GenRx Success." Martin Hensel narrates how "Mosby-Year Book, Inc., acquired GenRx (The Complete Reference for Generic and Brand Drugs) from another publisher in early 1995, at which time the 3,000-page drug reference was issued annually in print. From the beginning, Mosby's goal was to continuously update the content and sell it in print, on CD-ROM, on the Web, and in custom multititle editions. Texterity was chosen in June 1995 to design and build the editorial and production systems. A year later, the print and CD editions were being produced directly from a single set of SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) master files. In January 1997, Mosby released its very successful intranet and Internet product, GenRx.
