Summary

MULTEXT, along with EAGLES and the Vassar/CNRS collaboration (supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation), have developed a Corpus Encoding Standard that will "serve as a widely accepted set of encoding standards for corpus-based work... The CES is specifies a minimal encoding level that corpora must achieve to be considered standardized in terms of descriptive representation (marking of structural and typographic information) as well as general architecture (so as to be maximally suited for use in a text database). It also provides encoding specifications for linguistic annotation, together with a data architecture for linguistic corpora." The CES is available in SGML, and XML.

Extensible Markup Language - XML

Summary

A high level markup data format standard for text resources.

Background

is markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. It is defined in the XML 1.0 Specification produced by the W3C, and several other related specifications, all free open standards. The design goals of XML emphasize simplicity, generality, and usability over the Internet. It is a textual data format with strong support via Unicode for different human languages. Although the design of XML focuses on documents, it is widely used for the representation of arbitrary data structures,for example in web services.
XML is a high-level standard, for useful data-type specification more specificity is needed e.g. specfying the XML schema the XML. many applications have a specific XML schema.
