90 percent of a corporation's assets are stored--not in databases--but in
documents. What can you do right now to protect that information, to make it
accessible and deliverable in a choice of mediums? What can you do to prepare
for the explosive growth of the Internet and its impact on your business?
The answer is SGML.
The Standard Generalized Markup Language (ISO 8879) is the international
standard for open interchange of documents and structured information objects.
SGML is **Information Interoperability.** It's the one standard that the
semiconductor, aerospace and automotive industries are all adopting. In fact,
companies in every market are recognizing the strategic advantages of SGML.
Find out why at "Open for Business: The SGML Standard," a unique one-day,
dual-track seminar jointly sponsored by SGML Open and the SGML Forum of New
York.
