XML's steady descent into obscurity has become more and more apparent over the last few years. Developers, tool vendors, and browser implementers have all embraced HTML as the web's markup language, built on a substrate of JavaScript. Nothing epitomizes this shift more than the recent rise of web components: instead of standards committees dreaming up domain-specific XML vocabularies and hoping one day browsers would incorporate them, web components and the extensible web principles they embody allow authors to empower HTML with the same abilities XML once promised. The HTML of today is a truly extensible markup language. Where XML failed in this mission, both historically and practically, the web ecosystem routed around the damage of XML's influence by making HTML better suited for extensibility than ever before.

Since the early days of introducing eXtensible Markup Language (XML), owing to its expressive capabilities and flexibilities, it became the defacto standard for representing, storing, and interchanging data on the Web. Such features have made XML one of the building blocks of the Semantic Web. From another viewpoint, since XML documents could be considered from content, structural, and semantic aspects, leveraging their semantics is very useful and applicable in different domains. However, XML does not by itself introduce any built-in mechanisms for governing semantics. For this reason, many studies have been conducted on the representation of semantics within/from XML documents. This paper studies and discusses different aspects of the mentioned topic in the form of an overview with an emphasis on the state of semantics in XML and its presentation methods.

Abstract:A Template Definition Language (TDL) was developed to share knowledge of how to construct an electronic patient record (EPR) template. Based on the extensible markup language XML, TDL has been designed to be independent of EPR platforms or databases. Our research of TDL was conducted through evaluation of the description of various templates in the currently available EPRs and through comparisons with some electronic clinical guidelines. We conclude that TDL is sufficient for the objective but still needs improvement of the algorithm for describing dynamic changes.
