Design Goal: Protect Investment in Data |
| HTML | HTML is a terrible repository format, and preserves neither presentation nor structure. |
 |
| If created from legacy data, scores 100% - almost no presentation info is lost. If from structured data, 0% - all is lost. | |
|
| SGML | Standard, open, non-proprietary, structured, rich, outlives applications - the only really safe way to go. |
|
| Knowledge is a text-based application. |
