The Internet has seen many things come and go throughout its existence. With a simple examination of the history of the Internet, it should come as no surprise that the Internet is an ever-changing entity. In 1992, the World Wide Web (WWW) was introduced, and has taken the world by storm. Many of the documents available for download from the WWW are written in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). With any knowledge of HTML, it is quite easy to realize that it concerns itself predominately with the visual representation of the information contained within. This, though, is just not enough for some web authors. Some need a way of describing the information contained in the document rather than just marking up the document for visual effects. Suppose a physician could access the records at a hospital in another state of a particular patient through the WWW. If the physician could take the data directly from the web and feed it into his/her database of patients, much work would have been save such as printing out the information and manually re-entering it into the other database.
