workspace
A container for file-based geographic data. A workspace can be a
folder that contains shapefiles, an ArcInfo workspace that
contains coverages, a personal geodatabase, or an ArcSDE
geodatabase.
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
An organization that develops standards for the World Wide
Web and promotes interoperability between Web technologies,
such as browsers. Members from around the world contribute to
standards for XML, XSL, HTML, and many other Web-based
protocols.
eXtensible Markup Language (XML)
Developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), XML is a
set of rules for designing text formats, designed to facilitate more
standardized and structured documents. XML is a subset of the
Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), the standard
markup language for creating a digital document structure. XML
is similar to HTML in that it uses markup symbols (tags) to
encode information. But while HTML tells browsers how to
display information on a Web page, XML defines values for the
information. Also, users can create their own XML tags.
eXtensible Style Language (XSL)
A set of standards for defining XML document presentation and
transformation. An XSL stylesheet may contain information about
how to display tagged content in an XML document, such as
font size, background color, and text alignment. An XSL
stylesheet may also contain XSLT code that describes how to
transform the tagged content in an XML document into an output
document with another format. The World Wide Web Consortium
(W3C) maintains the XSL standards. See also stylesheet, World
Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
eXtensible Style Language Transformations
(XSLT)
A language for transforming the tagged content in an XML
document into an output document with another format. An XSL
stylesheet contains the XSLT code that defines each
transformation to be applied. Transforming a document requires
the original XML document, an XSL document containing XSLT
code, and an XSLT parser to execute the transformations. The
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) maintains the XSLT
standard. See also stylesheet, eXtensible Style Language (XSL),
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

XPath
XML Path Language. XPath provides a way to address and
match parts of an XML document and provides basic functions
for manipulating values. Path notation, like the notation for
defining a URL or the location of a file on disk, is used to
navigate the hierarchical structure of an XML document and
identify the part of the document that is of interest.
