Second Task

1- What is the “X” in XML and what is its significance? Select one response and write the letter
here  [ B  ]
a) Extended
b) Extensible
c) Extreme
d) Extendable

The “X” is significant  because  it is a formal recommendation from the World Wide Web Consortium  and it is not a fixed format like Html so the markup symbols are unlimited and Users are able to create their own Tags and languages, and it is actually a simpler and easier-to-use.

 2-   What is a markup language? Select one response and write the letter
here  [ C ]

   A)  A system of symbols to support the transmission of morse code.
   B)  A system to display website standards to which a website conforms,
   C)  A system of embedded codes to make an electronic document
          display on a web page as required
    D) A system to only prepare documents for publication

Describe in your own words : (  It is a formal way of annotating a document  and it has codes for indicating layout and styling (such as bold, italics, paragraphs, etc) and its describes exactly how the document should appear on the screen or on the printed page.)
3-    What does SGML stand for? Select one response and write the letter
here [ A]
  A)  Standard Generalized Markup Language
  B)  Structured Generalized Markup Language
  C)  School of Global Management and Learning
  D) Simplified Generic Machine Language

What is the significance of SGML

SGML  is a standard for how to specify a document  markup language or tag set, and
it "solves" the hard problem of computer understanding documents.


4-  What is the relationship between SGML and XML? Select one response and write the letter
here [ D]
  A)  SGML is based on XML
  B)  SGML and XML are the basis for HTML
  C)  SGML is a slimmed-down, streamlined version of XML
  D)  XML is a slimmed-down, streamlined version of SGML

Why is this so?

Both are metalanguages that are used to define new data-oriented vocabularies,
The designers of XML took the best parts of SGML and based on their experience, produced a technology comparable to SGML but much simpler to use.


5-  What is the relationship between SGML and HTML? Select one response and write the letter
here [A]
 A)   HTML is a mark-up language derived from SGML
 B)   SGML is a mark-up language derived from HTML
 C)   Both are derived from XML
 D)   Both are derived from AJAX

Why is this so?

HTML was rooted in SGML,but it was far simpler and easer to use, So HTML is SGML but not necessarily the reverse.

6-  Which of the following statements are true? Select one response and write the letter
here [C]
   A)  Special-purpose packages have been derived from HTML
   B)  HTML is an application derived from XML
   C)  Special-purpose markup languages have been derived from XML
   D)  XML supports HTML

Give examples  XML is a markup language for the creation of special-purpose markup languages. It describes data and can also contain data. An example of a special-purpose markup language is XHTML.


7-Which of the following statements DOES NOT apply to XML?  Select one response and write the letter
here [D]
   A)  XML is a set of rules for encoding documents electronically
   B)  XML is an predecessor of SGML
   C)  XML explicitly identifies the knowledge structure in the encoded document, so that           software packages can use     this structure
   D) XML approach allow you to specify the presentation of the document, and the hypertext links

Explain your choice XML is used to carry data rather than display data, therefore not allowing you to specify the presentation of data unlike HTML.

8- Which of the following statements DOES NOT apply to XML?  Select one response and write the letter here [D]
   A)  XML underpins the www
   B)  XML underpins office apps
   C) XML supports the creation new markup languages
   D) XML is written in Java

Give examples  Because XML and Java is a separate language and in additional XML is written in XML itself and java in itself. Therefore XML cannot be written in Java which  is a programming language for writing programs, whilst XML is markup language.
9- What is XIML? Select one response and write the letter
here [C]
    A)Extensible Intelligent Markup Language
    B)Extended Invisible Markup Language
    C)Extensible Interface Markup Language
    D)Extraterrestrial Interactive Markup Language

Explain your answer We introduce XIML (eXtensible Interface Markup Language), a proposed common representation for interaction data. We claim that XIML fulfills therequirements that we have found essential for a language of its type: (1) it supports design, operation, organization, and evaluation functions, (2) it is able to relate the abstract and concrete data elements of an interface, and (3) it enables knowledge-based systems to exploit the captured data

10- What is XIML? Select one response and write the letter
here [A]
    A)A Universal Language for User Interfaces
    B)A Markup Language Intelligent Applications
    C)A Language for Unseen Web Features
    D)A Markup Language for Extraterrestrial Maps

Explain your answer  It is a Universal language for User Interfaces wich innovative technology created purposefully to address the growing need of rich interactive multimedia user interface development.


   
11- What is XUL? Select one response and write the letter
here [B]
    A) Extensible Unseen Markup Language
    B) XML User Interface Language
    C) Extensible Universal Language
    D) Extreme UML

Explain your answer it is a toolkit that lets you build UIs using XML and includes an ultra-light weight, multi-threaded web server, a portal engine, a template engine (Velocity), a scripting interpreter  and more.



.   12-  What is XSL? Select one response and write the letter
here [D]
    A) As a standards language
    B) An alternative to XML
    C) Extensible Universal Language
    D) As a stylesheet language

Explain your answer XSL it is a toolkit that lets you build UIs using XML and includes an ultra-light weight, multi-threaded web server, a portal engine, a template engine (Velocity), a scripting interpreter and more.


.   13-  Below is some XML.  What is the last line? Select one response and write the letter
here [ B - all open tags must be closed,  element "<note>" has not been closed]    ]
   
a)     <end>
b)     </note>
c)     <note>
d)     <note/>

 <?xml version="1.0"?>
<note>    
<to>Class</to>    
<from>Ray</from>    
<heading>Reminder</heading>    
<body>Don't forget to complete your Blog!</body>




  14-  Below is some XML.  What is the missing line? Select one response and write the letter
here [D - the caption tag was not closed after the 'date' tags, XML tags must open and close .}

a) <Header>
b) <Body>
c) <painting>
d) </caption>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding='UTF-8'?>
<painting>
  <img src="madonna.jpg" alt='Foligno Madonna, by Raphael'/>
