The question about InfoWorld comes up every 4-5 months or so... See from InfoWorld VP Laura Wonnacott: [March 17, 2000] <a href="http://www.infoworld.com/articles/op/xml/00/03/13/000313opsavvy.xml">"Invest in both content management and XML to strengthen your site."</a> By <a href="mailto:laura_wonnacott@i...">Laura Wonnacott</a>. In <cite><a href="http://www.infoworld.com/">InfoWorld</a></cite> (March 10, 2000). "[InfoWorld Web] Site Savvy -- I've spent little time flexing our savvy muscles. To date, I've revealed many of our mistakes. In recognizing that even worst-case experiences carry a golden foundation, we did make two savvy decisions that will play in our favor: our investments in content management and XML solutions. We were looking for not only a content management system, but also for a solution that supported XML. We saw through the hype surrounding XML and recognized its true strengths.

Our decision to use XML was not only forward-thinking, but probably the best technology choice for InfoWorld.com in the long haul. Sure, HTML is the foundation of the Web as far as a publishing medium. But despite its fame, a lot of meaningful information remains obscured. With XML, meaning can be determined by the data stored in elements, rather than by a less intelligent technique, such as the number of times a word occurs in the document. Unlike HTML, XML is focused on document structure vs. document formatting. XML enhances the information in documents. For example, stories on our site include both a category tag and an audience tag. This data goes along with the story in a very structured way. It is then easy to aggregate meaningful data. For example, from our Home Page you can access both our subject indexes and our sections.
