UltraXML For Scientific, Technical and Medical (STM) Publishing

Optionally Supported DTDs

Chemical Markup Language (CML)

CML (Chemical Markup Language) is an approach to managing molecular information using markup languages such as XML. It is based strictly on SGML, the most robust and widely used system for precise information management in many areas. It has been developed over several years and has been tested in many areas and on a variety of machines.

CML is capable of holding extremely complex information structures and so acting as an interchange mechanism or for archival. It interfaces easily with modern database architectures such as relational databases or object-oriented databases.

The CML DTD specifically supports the publication of "chemical" information.

Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishing Markup Language

STMML is an XML-based mark-up language covering many generic aspects of scientific information. It has been developed as a re-usable core for more specific mark-up languages. It supports data structures, data types, metadata, scientific units and some basic components of scientific narrative. The central means of adding semantic information is through dictionaries. The specification is through an XML Schema which can be used to validate STMML documents or fragments.
