Bergen MLCD Project

Markup Language for Complex DocumentsThe goal of MLCD is to lay the theoretical foundation for a better system for the representation of complex textual phenomena than today's SGML- and XML-based systems. The project is also intended to provide a basis for the production of software, with particular attention to Web-based programs. MLCD will define a system intended to combine the best aspects of SGML, XML, and MECS (the Multi-Element Code System). The notation and file format of such a system has already been established, and a data structure has been sketched out. The project will work to complete the definition of the data structure and establish methods for defining document grammars. We will also develop prototype software for experimental purposes and to verify that the system is implementable.
