This page describes the work being done at W3C within the XML Activity, and how it is structured. Work at W3C takes place in Working Groups. The Working Groups within the XML Activity are listed below, together with links to their individual web pages. You can find and download formal technical specifications here, because we publish them. This is not a place to find tutorials, products, courses, books or other XML-related information. There are some links below that may help you find such resources. You will find links to W3C Recommendations, Proposed Recommendations, Working Drafts, conformance test suites and other documents on the pages for each Working Group. Each document also contains email addresses you can use to send comments or questions, for example if you have been writing software to implement them and have found problems or errors. Please do not send us email asking us to help you learn a language or specification; there are plenty of resources online, and the people editing and developing the specifications are very busy.
We are interested in technical comments and errata. If your organization would like to join the W3C, or if you would like to participate formally in a working group (and have the necessary resources to attend meetings), Working Groups There is more detail about each of these Working Groups in the Activity Statement and also on the individual Working Group public web pages. Most Working Groups have both a public web page and another more private one that is only accessible to W3C Members. The private page has telephone numbers, schedules for meetings and conference calls, links to internal editing drafts, and other administrative information.
XML Coordination Group The membership of this group is the Chairs of the individual Working Groups. Its role is to provide a forum for coordination between the Working Groups of the XML Activity, and between the XML Activity and other parts of W3C, and between the XML Activity and other organizations. This group does not produce specifications, so does not have a public page of its own. You can read the XML CG Charter, and there is more information about the XML CG in the Activity Statement. There is is also a member-only page. XML Core Working Group The mission of the XML Core Working Group is to develop and maintain the specifications for XML itself and closely related specifications such as Namespaces in XML, the XML Information Set, and Include. You can read the XML Core Working Group Public Page and the XML Core Working Group Charter, and there is also a member-only page. XSL Working Group.
