Flexible XML redefines the Web

Article Abstract:

Extensible Markup Language (XML) has the potential to make search engines perform more effectively. This is possible because of the way search engines take advantage of a site's standard, structuring a description of its documents, rather than using brute-force indexing. XML also could potentially be used to enhance personalized views of the Internet. Programers can use XML to encode any of the several metadata standards that already exist. However, because no particular metadata format is specified by XML, it is possible for each technology vendor or user group to define its own set of metadata tags. These tags would then be unusable outside of each individual group. Because XML defines the content rather than presentation of a Web page, pages will look differently from browser to browser.
