Welcome to The <SGML> Project
The <SGML> Project was funded by the JISC for a period of three
and half years from 1st January 1991. During that time it was a centre of
expertise on the use and applications of SGML. Also it set up and
maintained a distribution list 'sgml@mailbase', an anonymous ftp server
(now on 'ftp.ex.ac.uk') and provided help and assistance to prospective users
of SGML. Queries about SGML can still be sent to sgml@exeter, although
responses may now not be as quick as previously(!) The links below provide
access to information which may be of direct assistance to new and
existing users of SGML.
Items of interest:
- What is SGML and why should I use it?
- Electronic version of the flyer produced by the project. Paper copies
of this document are available from
Paul Ellison.
- Assessment of SGML-aware software
(for non-frameset browsers)
Assessment of SGML-aware software
(for Netscape 2.0 frameset)
- Electronic version of the report prepared by the project that looked
at a raft of SGML-aware software. The investigations for this report
were carried out during the first half of 1994. Printed versions
may be obtained from Paul Ellison
A second edition is in course of preparation. If you are interested in particular
products, or have products that you would like included then please let me know.
The annexes from the current report may be directly accessed as follows
- Annex A - Biography of SGML-related
material.
- Annex B - Contents of the Exeter ftp archive.
- Annex C - SGML acronyms explained
- Annex D - Suppliers / Developers addresses.
It is our plan to continue to put up useful information whenever we have the time,
so please continue to look occasionally.
