9601:1996 Fragment Interchange
The SGML standard supports logical documents composed of
a possibly complex organization of many entities. It is not
uncommon to want to view or edit one or more of the entities
or parts of entities while having no interest, need, or ability
to view or edit the entire document. The problem, then, is
how to provide to a recipient of such a "fragment" the appropriate
information about the context of that fragment in the original
document that is embodied in the part of the document that
is not available to the recipient.
The goal of this resolution is to define a way to send fragments
of an SGML document--regardless of whether the fragments are
predetermined entities or not--without having to send everything
up to the part in question. The delivered parts can either
be viewed or edited immediately or accumulated for later use,
assembly, or other processing.
This Technical Resolution is available in HTML,
PS, and XML
formats.
