Abstract
SGML is an abbreviation for ''Standard Generalized Markup Language''. This language, or rather metalanguage, was first defined by an Interna tional Standard in 1986.(1) To complement the many detailed technical descriptions of SGML now available,(2) this paper(3) briefly describes the purpose and scope of the standard, aiming to persuade non-technic ally minded readers that it has something to offer them.
