A Markup Language is a set of tags that surround bits of content to indicate style or structure.
The first important markup language for content management was SGML
?.
HTML was a severely limited form of SGML.
XML has added back a number of SGML features.
The mission of
CMSML.ORG is to document the development of a markup language for describing and classifying content management systems.
CMSML.ORG is an outgrowth of a collaboration between
OSCOM, the University of Washington iSchool
CMS Evaluation Lab, and
CMS Review.

Feature Comparator that utilizes CMSML to compare Content Management Systems.
