Here is the revised list. It is a list of best websites about XML, where "best" means "this is a website I go to as part of my daily/weekly routine or because references/links typically lead me there". (In the case of XML.COM, I sometimes get articles published there, so that is one drawcard for me, and I tend to visit sites that mention Schematron.) It is not a directory of XML pages. My personal list would be, for non-vendor sites: #1 xmlhack.com http://www.xmlhack.com/ #2 xml.com (articles, resources) http://www.xml.com/ #3 Cover's Cover Pages (comprehensive topical collections, with abstracts) http://xml.coverpages.org/ [main page] http://xml.coverpages.org/sgmlnew.html [news] http://xml.coverpages.org/coverNewsHeadlines.html [news headlines] http://xml.coverpages.org/siteIndex.html [topical index] The Robin Cover's site is the jewel in the XML crown: it is an amazing effort that surely is the single most important infrastructure reason for XML's fast growth. There is almost nothing about XML (via SGML) that you cannot find here. I put the other sites first, because I glance at them more often, but if I were to rank sites in importance for weekly or monthly work and research, there is simply nothing anywhere near the Cover pages. Whenever I need to find information on any topic, I always start there, and I cannot recall a single instance, in more that 5 years of using them, when I could not find a helpful reference, and often very up-to-date pages. OASIS would be doing everyone a favour if they expanded the service: it is pure gold for developers and researchers, and an important defense against the meatheads who don't know that the web's lifeblood is ideas not products. #4 Elliotte's Cafe Con Leche (opinion on topical issues) http://www.ibiblio.org/xml/ #5 zvon.org (tutorials and materials, including a Schematron tutorial) http://www.zvon.org #6 Taubers xmlsoftware.com and related sites (good listings of products) http://www.xmlsoftware.com/ Honorable mention for general research sites * citeseer (abstracts and copies of scholarly articles) http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/cs * and ACM http://www.acm.org/dl/proc_byseries_list.html For vendor/product sites (in no order): * W3C (technical specifications) http://www.w3.org/ * Apache http://www.apache.org. * alphaworks at IBM (toys) http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com * MSDN http://msdn.microsoft.com/xml/ * Sun http://www.sun.com/xml/ Cheers Rick
