Abstract

Creation of large and complex World Wide Web sites is hampered by the “page at a time” approach of many tools and theprogramming knowledge and custom software development required for automated solutions. This paper describes thedevelopment of Automatic Site Markup Language (ASML). ASML is a new markup language designed to automate and facilitatethe production of large, complicated web sites which can include dynamic content or content that changes with time. ASMLextends HTML with new, high-level features while still preserving complete compatibility with common browser and servertechnologies. It has powerful indexing and searching facilities, and enables the automatic translation of documentformats. Most importantly, ASML provides HTML-like features at the site level rather than just the page level.
