The Extensible Markup Language [XML], was intended to be a meta-language, when it was initially approved as a Web Standard by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), in February of 1998. Since then, it has come a very long way in applicability and popularity and is fast becoming the Standard for Data Interchange over the Web. XML has now formed the foundation for a completely new way of communicating across the Internet. The power of XML to be applied universally to a number of areas lies in the fact that it is a clean standard and provides a very simple way for a document to carry information about itself. In a generic sense, this would imply that XML infuses the information itself with "Intelligence." This feature of XML can be harnessed to lend the flexibility and the information storage and management capability desirable in most Web-based applications. This paper researches and evaluates the tradeoffs, advantages and issues involved in applying XML to the storage and management of data and/or documents in the implementation of a large Web - based application, such as an Online Delivery System for Courseware.
