 The promise of XML as an open, vendor-neutral, platfrom-neutral standard for web data has led to unprecedented activity across the industry. For the last 3 years, XML champions have been warning that there is still much to be done. Mike will scour XML Europe for all the latest information and will present a perspective on the promise of XML and how close we are (or aren't) to achieving it.
