P328 – PROGRAMME ON INTRODUCTION TO XML

 (COMPANY SPECIFIC PROGRAMME FOR L.I.C. OF INDIA)

 

 

Background:

 

XML (EXtensible Markup Language) is a document markup language for defining structured information. XML was designed to describe data and to focus on what the data is. Whereas, HTML was designed to display the data and to focus on how the data looks. XML has now been evolved as the standard for exchanging data across systems. In the recent past, a large number of software vendors have adopted this standard while integrating info-systems internal to the organization and also in extranet applications. It is quite evident that XML has now become the central element in web-based applications integration today.  TXLife/XMLife is an XML developed for the life insurance industry, by ACORD to standardize related data exchange.
