The Seattle SAGE Group
XML - An Introduction For System Administrators
More buzzwords
(the quiz is canceled!)
- Elements - think of these as the individual "variables" of an XML
document. In our example <group> and <location> are
elements.
- Attributes - these describe attributes of elements, the class,
borderwidth, etc.
- Attribute List Declarations - describe the attributes an element will
have. May supply defaults, etc.
- Entities - these define specific content, as in an
external file (xml or otherwise), or internal text for the document (as in
<!ENTITY SSG "Seattle Sage Group"> would later be
referred to as &SSG; )
