It is therefore somewhat inevitable thatthe majority of information about XML is also available onthe Internet and, more particularly, on the World Wide Web.To assemble the listings included here, I have spent manyhours scouring the Web, but even then it is impossible to avoidmissing some. To try to be as thorough as possible and avoidgiving you locations that could be already out of date by thetime you read this, I have tried to include major locations thatinclude pointers to exact locations.</P><P>Of course, for people who still like to see the dead-treeeditions (and that might even include you, because you arereading this book!), I have also included a selection of some ofthe most useful books.</P><A NAME="PAGENUM-374"><P>Page 374</P></A><H3>Books</H3><P>Because XML is so new, it can hardly be surprising that there are as yetvery few books about it. I have therefore chosen a very few selected SGMLbooks that may also be of interest or assistance to someone predominantlyinterested in XML and only interested in SGML aspects as they affect XML.</P><P>I have intentionally not included any books on HTML. There are simply toomany books on the subject and often far better sources of information on the Web.</P><UL><LI> TheSGML Handbook, Charles F. Goldfarb, 1990, OxfordUniversity Press (ISBN 0-19-853737-1): This is probably the most definitivebook on the SGML standard, and it is written by someone who reallyought to know. Be warned, though, that this is not light reading, but, thanksto its excellent index, it makes a very good technical reference.<LI> Practical SGML, Eric van Herwijnen, 1994, Kluwer AcademicPublishers (ISBN 0-7923-9434-8): This is probably the best and themost accessible introduction to SGML that exists.<LI> SGML on the Web: Small Steps BeyondHTML, Murray, Maloney, and Yuri Rubinski, 1997, Prentice Hall PTR (ISBN 0-13-519984-0):Apart from being interesting historically and a tribute to the sad loss ofYuri Rubinski, this book gives some interesting insights into the reasonsfor using SGML, rather than HTML, on the Web. The book includesa copy of SoftQuad's Panorama SGML browser/plug-in.<LI> Developing SGML DTDs: From Text to Model toMarkup, Jeanne El Anduloussi and Eve Maler, 1996, Prentice Hall PTR (ISBN0-13-309881-8): Although it is focused entirely on SGML, this is one ofvery few books that adequately covers the subject of DTD development.It will also be of interest to anyone interested in developing seriousXML DTDs.<LI> The SGML FAQ Book: Understanding the Foundation of HTMLand XML, Steven J. Derose, announced for June 1997, KluwerAcademic Publishers (ISBN 0-7923-9943-9).<LI> HTML and SGMLExplained, Martin Bryan, expected 1997, Addison-Wesley Developers Press (ISBN 0-201-40394-3).<LI> ABCD…SGML: A User's Guide to StructuredInformation, Liora Alschuler, 1995, International Thomson Computer Press (ISBN1-850-32197-3).</UL><A NAME="PAGENUM-375"><P>Page 375</P></A><H3>Online Resources</H3><P>If only two addresses remain in your memory after scanning through thisappendix, I hope it will be the following two because they are probably themost complete reference sites for anything connected with SGML and XML.Here are the two addresses:</P><UL><LI> The SGMLBibliography: Robin Cover has been collectingbibliographic data on SGML and related topics since 1986.

For paper copies of the definitive versions ofthese standards, you should contact your local national standards organization(all national bodies are authorized to sell copies of ISO and other internationalstandards documents). However, drafts of these standards are readilycirculated via the Internet.
