History

On Monday, October 26, 1998, the W3C made public its long-in-the-works reorganization of what is officially known as the XML Activity, replacing the XML Working Group. The reorganization named an XML Coordination Group under Jon Bosak, Chair of the former Working Group, and five Working Groups focusing on related activities.
