Know the Power of SGML and XML
SGML can be: printed; searched and browsed
electronically; used to create HTML, word-processor
files, Braille, and database load files; archived; and used to support
automated translation, hypertext, and interactive training applications.
By having one data format that supports all of these applications, users
save time, reduce errors, and save money. The Office of Naval Intelligence
reports that by converting Characteristics of Naval Ships of the
World to SGML they experienced a 204 to 1
manpower reduction for production and saved $200K to $240K in printing and
replication costs.
