Extensible Mark Up language. It is used as a way to share structured data across different information systems, generally the Internet.

Extensible Markup Language (XML)

Depending on your background you'll probably want to start here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xml

Something a little more technical http://xml.com/pub/a/98/10/guide0.html

eXtensible Markup Language lets you define your own Document Type Definition.

What that is, is, you can (sort of) define your own patterns for writing a web page. One weird example would be to write a list of meetings, each of which contains a boldface, darkgreen, underscored header, a speaker with an italic label, and three paragraphs:

Meeting</ title> <speaker ><label >her/his label</label >her his name</speaker > description more description more description </meeting > 2007-11-12 14:13:59 · <a href="#answer20071112141359">answer #3</a> · answered by fjpoblam 7 · 0⤊ 0⤋ </div> </div> </article> </section> <div style="background:#888;padding:8px;margin-top:16px;"> fedest.com, questions and answers </div> </body> </html>
