KESAKO SGML?
Definition : Standard Generalized Markup Language. Structuring Information Language allowing to code Structure's Models and the Structure it self of documents (ISO 8879).
SGML Language is an information structuring Language developed by an IBM engineer. Dedicated to process large volume of compound information like library, technical documentation for aircraft, military or satellite industry... SGML Language know a true starting at the beginning of 1990's with the ISO certification.
SGML / HTML parallel stories. At the same time the Internet such we know it today starts to be structured, TIM BERNERS-LEE, a CERN scientist, in Geneva has quiet a decisive idea. He invents the WEB.
The idea is to constitute a documentary found that each one can consult simutaneouly. It is not necessary any more to send hundreds of email of your last publication to hundreds of different recipients. It is enough to publish them once and for all on a Web site that each one will be able to consult at is time. TIM BERNERS-LEE uses a few commonly known technologies like hypertext and HTML.
Language HTML exists already for a few years when BERNERS-LEE decides to implement it for its WEB sites. In fact it is a kind of a degraded SGML returned to its simpler expression.
HTML Definition : HyperText Markup Language.HTML is an application of the standard ISO 8879:1986 -- Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML).To formally identify the file have containing HTML elements, the beginning of the file should contain has line in SGML syntax identifying the version of HTML being used. For RFC 1866 HTML Version 2.0, this line PUBLIC is <!DOCTYPE HTML " - / / IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
Hypertexte : Documentary technical allowing representing documents with graphs which nodes contains information and links can be browsed.
HTML : Two strong principles :
- hypertexts links allows to link one page to another, even if it is from one fitted at the other end oft the world (this is surfing)
- some information structuring elements, meta infomation : if you choose on your browser Display\Display Source you'll see someting like that :
