The W3C recommendation allows any digital data to be signed, and this includes an XML document, an XML element of a document, and the content of an XML element as particular cases. When we talk about an XML signature, we are actually referring to an XML document, which contains the Signature (defined in the namespace http://www.w3.org/2000/09/XMLdsig#) as one element (which may be the root element). But the document may also contain other elements, among which the most important are, of course, the original data objects being signed. Depending on

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has announced the publication of XML Encryption Syntax and Processing and Decryption Transform for XML Signature as W3C Recommendations, signifying a "cross-industry agreement on an XML-based approach for securing XML data in a document. A W3C Recommendation indicates that a specification is stable, contributes to Web interoperability, and has been reviewed by the W3C Membership, who favor its widespread adoption." The Encryption document "specifies a process for encrypting data and representing the result in XML. The

XML is a versatile markup language, capable of labeling the information content of diverse data sources including structured and semi-structured documents, relational databases, and object repositories. A query language that uses the structure of XML intelligently can express queries across all these kinds of data, whether physically stored in XML or viewed as XML via middleware. This specification describes a query language called XQuery, which is designed to be broadly applicable across many types of XML data sources. This document has been

This document specifies a process for encrypting data and representing the result in XML. The data may be arbitrary data (including an XML document), an XML element, or XML element content. The result of encrypting data is an XML Encryption element which contains or references the cipher data.This document is the W3C XML Encryption Recommendation (REC). This document has been reviewed by W3C Members and other interested parties and has been endorsed by the Director as a W3C Recommendation. It is a stable document and may be used as reference material or

W3C Working Draft 25 July 2007 Abstract This Working Group Note presents measurement results of various high-performance XML interchange encoding formats and their associated processors, made by the Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Working Group. The measurements have been conducted following the recommendations of the XML Binary Characterization (XBC) Working Group. In particular, this draft covers measurements of the properties of "compactness", "processing efficiency" and "roundtrip support", as defined by the XBC WG. We start by describing the

XForms is the next generation of HTML forms. XForms uses XML to create input forms on the Web.

What Is XForms? * XForms is the next generation of HTML forms * XForms is richer and more flexible than HTML forms * XForms will be the forms standard in XHTML 2.0 * XForms is platform and device independent * XForms

XForms Conversion Overview The XForms Converter utility was developed to provide the ability to perform the conversion of XForms documents into Adobe’s XML Forms Architecture (XFA) documents. The resulting files are XDP documents that can be used in Adobe’s LiveCycle Designer application. The utility can be invoked via the console or a Java Swing client. Further details on how it can be invoked are provided in the Operation section of this document. This is an alpha version of the utility. About XForms XForms is an XML format that specifies a

XForms is an XML format for the specification of a data processing model for XML data and user interface(s) for the XML data, such as web forms. XForms was designed to be the next generation of HTML / XHTML forms, but is generic enough that it can also be used in a standalone manner or with presentation languages other than XHTML to describe a user interface and a set of common data manipulation tasks. XForms, much like XHTML 2.0 which is currently under development as of November 2006 and within which XForms will be embedded, differs from previous

[April 29, 2005] First Public Working Draft for XML Linking Language (XLink) Version 1.1. The W3C XML Core Working Group has produced a First Public Working Draft for XML Linking Language (XLink) Version 1.1 and requests feedback from W3C Members and other interested parties. XLink Version 1.0 was approved as a W3C Recommendation in June 2001. The XLink Version 1.1 Working Draft defines mechanisms to allow markup constructs "to be inserted into XML documents in order to create and describe links between resources. It uses XML syntax to create

XML Linking Language (XLink) is a generic framework for expressing links in XML documents, to complete its placement in hypertext systems such as the Web. It can be used to create simple links, such as those that are an essential part of HTML documents, or more complex types of links, such as multiended links and link databases. XML Linking Language (XLink) Version 1.0 [W3C Recommendation] provides a generic framework for expressing links in XML documents. Hypertext, which requires linking, is the foundation of the Web, and adding sophisticated

Abstract This specification defines the XML Linking Language (XLink), which allows elements to be inserted into XML documents in order to create and describe links between resources. It uses XML syntax to create structures that can describe links similar to the simple unidirectional hyperlinks of today's HTML, as well as more sophisticated links. Status of this Document This document has been reviewed by W3C Members and other interested parties and has been endorsed by the Director as a W3C Recommendation. It is a stable document and may be used

XML shares common origins with HTML and SGML. SGML or "Standard Generalized Markup Language" was issued as an international standard (ISO 8879) in 1986. It was intended for semantic markup that would assist computer cataloging and indexing. SGML provided flexibility that had not been available before and became very popular and was applied in many ways beyond the intentions of the original developers. It was, however, very complex and expensive. Brief history About 1990, Tim Berners-Lee at CERN developed a new, simpler language that could be used in

XML was designed to describe data and to focus on what data is. HTML was designed to display data and to focus on how data looks. What You Should Already Know Before you continue you should have a basic understanding of the following: * HTML / XHTML * JavaScript or VBScript If you want to study these subjects first, find the tutorials on our Home page. What is XML? * XML stands for EXtensible Markup Language * XML is a markup language much like HTML * XML was designed to describe data * XML tags are not predefined. You must define

SUMMARYScalable Vector Graphics (SVG), a W3C graphics standard built around XML, is one of several vector graphics technologies that allows fast, lightweight drawings such as charts and graphs to be rendered on the fly in an appropriate viewer. There are many advantages to such vector graphics, including conservation of bandwidth and storage media, and flexibility. This article explains these benefits and shows you how to easily add powerful, dynamic, interactive visual elements to your Web applications. Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a standard

XQuery is a query language (with some programming language features) that is designed to query collections of XML data. It is semantically similar to SQL. XQuery 1.0 was developed by the XML Query working group of the W3C. The work was closely coordinated with the development of XSLT 2.0 by the XSL Working Group; the two groups shared responsibility for XPath 2.0, which is a subset of XQuery 1.0. XQuery 1.0 became a W3C Recommendation on January 23, 2007. "The mission of the XML Query project is to provide flexible query facilities to extract data

An XML Schema Definition (XSD) is an instance of an XML schema written in XML Schema. An XSD defines a type of XML document in terms of constraints upon what elements and attributes may appear, their relationship to each other, what types of data may be in them, and other things. It can be used with validation software in order to ascertain whether a particular XML document is of that type, and to produce a PSVI. XSDs were the first W3C-recommended XML schemas to provide a namespace and datatype aware alternative to using XML's native Document Type

Abstract: XML Schema Part 0: Primer is a non-normative document intended to provide an easily readable description of the XML Schema facilities, and is oriented towards quickly understanding how to create schemas using the XML Schema language. XML Schema Part 1: Structures and XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes provide the complete normative description of the XML Schema language. This primer describes the language features through numerous examples which are complemented by extensive references to the normative texts. Status of this

XML Signature (also called XMLDsig, XML-DSig, XML-Sig) is a W3C recommendation that defines an XML syntax for digital signatures. Functionally, it has much in common with PKCS#7 but is more extensible and geared towards signing XML documents. It is used by various Web technologies such as SOAP, SAML, and others. XML signatures can be used to sign data–a resource–of any type, typically XML documents, but anything that is accessible via a URL can be signed. An XML signature used to sign a resource outside its containing XML document is called a

The XML Signature Working Group is a joint Working Group of the IETF and W3C. The chairs are Donald Eastlake 3rd and Joseph Reagle Jr. The goal of this working group "is to develop an XML compliant syntax used for representing the signature of Web resources and portions of protocol messages (anything referencable by a URI) and procedures for computing and verifying such signatures." See the mailing list archives for current/past discussion. [November 11, 2002] W3C Publishes XML-Signature XPath Filter 2.0 as W3C Recommendation. The XML-Signature

W3C Recommendation 12 February 2002: Abstract This document specifies XML digital signature processing rules and syntax. XML Signatures provide integrity, message authentication, andor signer authentication services for data of any type, whether located within the XML that includes the signature or elsewhere. Status of this document This document has been reviewed by W3C Members and other interested parties and has been endorsed by the Director as a W3C Recommendation. It is a stable document and may be used as reference material or cited as a

XPointer, a language for referring to locations of fragments of an XML document, brings similar (but more expansive) capabilities to using URLs with hashes in order to link to a particular point in an HTML document. Learn more about this language, including the controversy it has stirred up and the alternative schemes it has spawned. The XPointer Framework [W3C Recommendation] defines a language that you can use to refer to fragments of an XML document. You're perhaps already familiar with how you can use URLs with hashes ("#") in them to link to a
