Re: XML Framework Inventory

["Kit (Christopher) Lueder" <kit@mitre.org>]

Hi Klaus-Dieter,
To partially answer your question, attached is an XML overview I wrote
(Microsoft Word in Winzip), which contains a list of the XML-related
activities that I find relevant, along with their URLs. It may also
serve as a light tutorial for some list members. 
This is extracted from a larger document, so it may appear incomplete
(e.g., no Table 1), and some of the formatting (bullet marks) seem to
have not survived the cut/paste. Any corrections or updates to the
technical content of the attachment would be appreciated.

It is not possible even to list absolutely all XML activites, but I
think Robin Cover's XML web site comes the closest:
http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/xml.html

Kit Lueder,

Worse than an unanswered question is an unquestioned answer.
