Active documents in XML

Published: 01 February 1999 Publication History

Abstract

XML is an extremely promising approach to the standardization of most data structures, but the rendering semantics proposed with XSL is not sufficiently general, lacking support for arbitrary graphic objects and sophisticated notations.In this paper we introduce XMLC, a generic, modular XML browser that can display any kind of notation required for XML documents, and we also discuss the use of XMLC for active documents.
