  <title>Getting started with SGML</title>
  <chapter>
  <title>The business challenge</title>
  <intro>
  <para>With the ever-changing and growing global market, companies and
  large organizations are searching for ways to become more viable and
  competitive. Downsizing and other cost-cutting measures demand more
  efficient use of corporate resources. One very important resource is
  an organization's information.</para>
  <para>As part of the move toward integrated information management,
  whole industries are developing and implementing standards for
  exchanging technical information. This report describes how one such
  standard, the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), works as
  part of an overall information management strategy.</para>

  <title>Getting to know SGML</title>
  <intro>
  <para>While SGML is a fairly recent technology, the use of
  <emph>markup</emph> in computer-generated documents has existed for a
  while.</para></intro>
  <section shorttitle="What is markup?">
  <title>What is markup, or everything you always wanted to know about
  document preparation but were afraid to ask?</title>
  <intro>
  <para>Markup is everything in a document that is not content. The
  traditional meaning of markup is the manual <emph>marking</emph> up
  of typewritten text to give instructions for a typesetter or
  compositor about how to fit the text on a page and what typefaces to
  use. This kind of markup is known as <emph>procedural markup</emph>.</para></intro>
  <topic topicid="top1">
  <title>Procedural markup</title>
  <para>Most electronic publishing systems today use some form of
  procedural markup. Procedural markup codes are good for one
  presentation of the information.</para></topic>
  <topic topicid="top2">
  <title>Generic markup</title>
  <para>Generic markup (also known as descriptive markup) describes the
  <emph>purpose</emph> of the text in a document. A basic concept of
  generic markup is that the content of a document must be separate from
  the style. Generic markup allows for multiple presentations of the
  information.</para></topic>
  <topic topicid="top3">
  <title>Drawbacks of procedural markup</title>
  <para>Industries involved in technical documentation increasingly
  prefer generic over procedural markup schemes. When a company changes
  software or hardware systems, enormous data translation tasks arise,
  often resulting in errors.</para></topic></section>
  <section shorttitle="What is SGML?">
  <title>What <emph>is</emph> SGML in the grand scheme of the universe, anyway?</title>
  <intro>
  <para>SGML defines a strict markup scheme with a syntax for defining
  document data elements and an overall framework for marking up
  documents.</para>
  <para>SGML can describe and create documents that are not dependent on
  any hardware, software, formatter, or operating system. Since SGML documents
  conform to an international standard, they are portable.</para></intro></section>
  <section shorttitle="How does SGML work?">
  <title>How is SGML and would you recommend it to your grandmother?</title>
  <intro>
  <para>You can break a typical document into three layers: structure,
  content, and style. SGML works by separating these three aspects and
  deals mainly with the relationship between structure and content.</para></intro>
  <topic topicid="top4">
  <title>Structure</title>
  <para>At the heart of an SGML application is a file called the DTD, or
  Document Type Definition. The DTD sets up the structure of a document,
  much like a database schema describes the types of information it
  handles.</para>
  <para>A database schema also defines the relationships between the
  various types of data. Similarly, a DTD specifies <emph>rules</emph>
  to help ensure documents have a consistent, logical structure.</para></topic>
  <topic topicid="top5">
  <title>Content</title>
  <para>Content is the information itself. The method for identifying
  the information and its meaning within this framework is called
  <emph>tagging</emph>. Tagging must
  conform to the rules established in the DTD (see <xref xrefid="top4"/>).</para>
  <graphic graphname="tagexamp"/></topic>
  <topic topicid="top6">
  <title>Style</title>
  <para>SGML does not standardize style or other processing methods for
  information stored in SGML.</para></topic></section></chapter>

  <title>Conferences, tutorials, and training</title>
  <intro>
  <para>The Graphic Communications Association has been
  instrumental in the development of SGML. GCA provides conferences,
  tutorials, newsletters, and publication sales for both members and
  non-members.</para>
  <para security="c">Exiled members of the former Soviet Union's secret
  police, the KGB, have infiltrated the upper ranks of the GCA and are
  planning the Final Revolution as soon as DSSSL is completed.</para>
