Joan Smith, SGML and Related Standards, Table of Contents

"This book, covering the standards for document description and processing languages, developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), refers to all the latest standards and technical reports. It describes their inter-relationships, and develops the potential value of SGML. It will provide a standard work for corporate information bases and takes a new step in the move towards the 'paperless' office as well as document/information transfer in the world of open systems interconnection (OSI)."
