PPORTUNITIES
Because XML data is so much more accessible than data stored in proprietary for-
mats, whole new application functions are possible. For example:
XML data repositories:
Information publishers can produce information in
XML format. XML documents can be stored for later access by a variety of ap-
plications, not just by the applications that generated the information. Ideally,
traditional reports will no longer exist, but will be replaced by XML docu-
ments. These documents will be presented to (and manipulated by) end users
with XML-capable viewers. These viewers will provide many more analytical
capabilities than are available with simple text searching of an ASCII file. There
are also XML-based databases available.
