SGML/XML Serial Publications

Serial Publications Pertaining to SGML/XML

While online electronic publications have begun to replace paper-print journals and newsletters, a number of important serials remain dedicated to SGML/XML, or provide significant coverage for SGML/XML and related structured document technologies.


Contents Listing

Note: This document needs a thorough update, but it still provides mostly reliable hints to the standard (paper/print) serial publications on SGML/XML. Newsletters like ebt-link (published by Electronic Book Technologies) and Avalancher (published by Avalanche Development Corp.) are not included below. Many SGML providers have newsletters covering general SGML trends and development as well as articles supporting their own SGML products. Titles below covering primarily CALS may not be up-to-date. CALS stands for "Continuous Acquisition and Life-Cycle Support", but formerly was "Computer-aided Acquistion and Logistics Support".


Markup Languages: Theory & Practice

[CR: 20011010]

The technical journal Markup Languages: Theory & Practice was launched in 1998. The principal editors were initially B. Tommie Usdin (Mulberry Technologies, Inc.) and C. M. Sperberg-McQueen (University of Illinois/Chicago). A fuller description and listing of editors and members of the editorial board is provided in the main overview for this serial.

"The MIT Press is proud to announce the launch of Markup Languages: Theory & Practice starting in early 1999. This quarterly, peer-reviewed technical journal will be the first journal devoted to research, development, and practical applications of text markup for computer processing, management, manipulation, and display. Specific areas of interest include new syntaxes for generic markup languages; refinements to existing markup languages; theory of formal languages as applied to document markup; systems for mark-up; uses of markup for printing, hypertext, electronic display, content analysis, information reuse and repurposing, search and retrieval, and interchange; shared applications of markup languages; and techniques and methodologies for developing markup languages and applications of markup languages."

XML-Journal

XML-Journal "is intended for CIOs, CTOs, IT managers, enterprise solutions consultants, systems analysts, software engineers, and general XML enthusiasts interested in the applications, solutions, and technologies surrounding XML. The magazine focuses on how XML technologies impact the business community, which includes analyses, return-on-investment, total-cost-of-ownership, and case studies. XML-Journal is broken down into five categories: the Home section is devoted to editorials, news, and general commentary not associated with any of the other sections. Content Management covers the systems, applications, and best practices pertaining to the organization, dissemination, and presentation of information. Data Management covers the systems, applications and best practices pertaining to the storage, transformation, representation, and general use of structured and unstructured data. Enterprise Solutions covers case studies, best practices, applications, and systems that use XML in the delivery of mission-critical enterprise applications, such as enterprise application integration, B2B commerce, supply-chain management, and customer resource management. And XML Labs covers implementations of XML applications, the latest on XML standards, reviews of XML products and books, and XML tutorials." [description from Cheryl Van Sise of SYS-CON]

COMP.TEXT.SGML Digest

[Ceased operation 01-March-96]


The Seybold Report on Publishing Systems

The Seybold Report on Publishing Systems and associated Seybold Special Report series are both valuable publications in terms of SGML coverage. Neither is dedicated to SGML, but they provide superior information on SGML publishing software, often in more detail than other dedicated SGML serial publications. SGML software exhibited at the annual Seybold Seminars and Expositions (e.g., Boston, San Francisco, Paris) is often described fully in Seybold Report on Publishing Systems and in the Special Reports. See, for example, several articles by Mark Walter ( on JCALS; on the Chameleon Project; on ODA; on SGML used in production of mainstream journals; on the SGML '94 Conference; etc.) and bibliographic entries for recent special reports (Seybold Seminars Boston '95; Seybold San Francisco '94 and [Special Report 3/4, ditto] ). Please see the main Seybold entry for other details.

See the Seybold Publications WWW Server., or information on the Seybold Reports. Free sample issues of either Seybold Report on Publishing Systems or Seybold Report on Desktop Publishing are available.
