A survey of XML standards: Part 4

Uche has published an article about XML standards which is quite  
interesting.

[[[
XML started strong and has grown quite rapidly. It has proven itself  
a very valuable technology, but it can be an intimidating one, when  
one considers all the moving parts that fall under the term "XML". In  
this series of articles, I provide a summary of what I see as the  
most important XML technologies, and discuss how they each fit into  
the greater scope of things in the XML world. I also recommend  
tutorials and other useful resources for evaluating and learning to  
use each technology.

The part 4 contains a table which references and classifies the XML  
standards

[[[
The cross-reference is in the form of a table where rows represent  
standards, sorted in alphabetical order. Each row is color coded  
based on the article where the main coverage appeared:
    	Yellow denotes Core XML standards, Part 1	Yellow rows relate to  
Core XML standards, Part 1
    	Green denotes XML processing standards, Part 2	Green rows relate  
to XML processing standards, Part 2
    	Blue denotes XML applications, Part 3	Blue rows relate to XML  
applications, Part 3

The link from the first column leads to the relevant home or  
specification page, and I give a very brief synopsis in the second.  
The third mentions the organization or consortium that develops or  
maintains the specification; some are "Community" indicating that  
they come from small groups or ad-hoc interest groups. The fourth  
column cross references to the article in which the main coverage of  
the standard was provided, and to other related standards within this  
article. The final column gives recommended external links to  
relevant introductions, tutorials, articles, references, general  
information sites, and more.
