Described as most immediately beneficial to publishers of databases, reference works and other frequently updated titles, the process begins with adoption of an international standard for data content tagging, known as ISO 8879 or SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language).
ISO 8879 has been a major contributor in the fast acceleration of the information age.
One tool within the information technology industry that meets this requirement and is becoming widely accepted in the international community is the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), developed by the International Standards Organization and published as ISO 8879.
