XML Resource Guide: Requirements Documents, Schema, W3C Standards-in-progressXML Information Set RequirementsNoteLink: http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-xml-infoset-reqDate: Feb. 18, 1999 Source: W3C
Excerpted from "Introduction": "The W3C's XML 1.0 Recommendation [XML] describes the physical representation of XML documents. We expect, however, that XML-based standards will usually be defined at a higher, logical level: in other words, standards will tend to refer to abstract objects like element or data rather than to the physical sequences of characters that match the XML 1.0 Recommendation's syntactic productions." " The XML Information Set will describe these abstract XML objects and their properties. It will provide a common reference set that other specifications can use and extend to construct their underlying data models, and will help to ensure interoperability among the various XML-based specifications and among XML software tools in general." " The XML Information Set will be purely descriptive: it will identify a common set of abstract XML information without mandating a single type of processing behaviour or a specific API for XML-based software."
