| Abstract: | At the April 2002 CENDI meeting, Mr. Liu provided a detailed overview of XML and its structure and explained NLM's goals in using this mark-up language. NLM is aiming for an infrastructute for web-based information exchange with external and internal partners. XML was selected because it offers proof against technology change, promotes interoperability, and allows for output to multiple channels. All of the MEDLINE database is in XML and its use is being promoted within the biomedical publishing community. NLM is experimenting with other uses of XML some of which include the generic presentation of content; security uses; and getting the web site to talk. Mr. Liu ends his presentation by listing several key lessons learned in the process. These include the need to take a broad and holistic approach to the use of XML; realize that it’s a major organizational change; understand the core standards and keep abreast of domain-specific standards developments; learn from and cooperate with others; the importance of stageing over time; and security needs. |
