XML as UI

• A slogan of Adam Bosworth

• I interpret it in two ways:

  • At the client end
    • Use XML plus XSL as the basis for what the user sees on his/her screen
    • Use XLinks from a master document to pull together disparate sources of information
  • At the server end
    • Use XML as a uniform interface for any data source onto the web
    • Not just documents, but E.g. Databases, process control information, stock quotes
