Abstract

The existence of XML induces to hope that some limits of humanities computing may soon be trespassed. Here we mention some arguments concerning data management and 3D visualization, describing a few examples and test cases where the use of XML dramatically improved the quality of the application. These include text encoding, archaeological data management and Virtual Reality reconstruction of Cultural Heritage.
