As an industry standard for structured data, XML provides many advantages for organizations, software developers, Web sites, and end users. More vertical market data formats are being applied to key markets such as advanced database search, online banking, medical care, legal affairs, E-commerce and other areas, which makes the opportunity to expand further. A special opportunity arises when a site distributes more data than it does to provide data browsing.

Customer service is moving from the phone and geographic location to the Web site, and will benefit more from the powerful capabilities of XML. And since most business applications include data processing and transfer, such as purchase orders, invoices, customer information, contracts, drawings, and so on, XML will change the behavior of end users on the Internet, and many commercial applications will be implemented. In addition, using xml-based vocabularies for enterprise intranet, information on Web sites, whether stored in documents or databases, can be identified. These words can also help small and medium-sized enterprises that need to exchange information between customers and suppliers.

An important untapped market is the development of tools that make it easy for end users to build their own web sites, including tools for generating XML data from database information and existing consumer interfaces. In addition, standard schemas can be developed to describe the data and to use the functionality of a plan, chart, Excel, or other spreadsheet. It is a good opportunity to develop published visualization tools that describe the XML generated from the database. Tools for viewing XML data can be written in visual Basic,java and C + +.

XML requires powerful new tools for displaying rich and complex XML data in a document, and it can be achieved by mapping the user-friendly display layer over layered, dynamically changing data. The layout diagram of the XML data includes PivotTable reports, and so on.

A Web site can provide stock quotes, new articles, or real-time transaction data. Information overload can be avoided by setting the rules for information aging. Developing xml-based tools that users use to develop rules and server and client software to implement rules is a huge opportunity. Scripting a standard object pattern can be used to filter incoming information, to check stored information, to create output information, to enter a database, and so on.
