SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) is the internationally recognized and approved standard that defines the rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. It is designed to enable the sharing of data across different systems, particularly for documents with complex structures. XML and HTML are derived from SGML, but SGML itself is the more general standard for document encoding. SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) is for multimedia presentations and is not a general document encoding standard.
