XML
Last modified: Wednesday, June 07, 2006 

 
Short for Extensible Markup Language, a specification developed by the W3C. XML is a pared-down version of SGML, designed especially for Web documents. It allows designers to create their own customized tags, enabling the definition, transmission, validation, and interpretation of data between applications and between organizations.

Also see Understanding "Web Services" in the "Did You Know...?" section of Webopedia.
