error-checking data sent across a network
• Rules contributing to success of Internet
– Independent networks should not require any
internal changes to be connected to the network

must be retransmitted from their source network
– Router computers act as receive-and-forward
devices
– No global control exists over the network

• Includes data management capabilities that
HTML cannot provide
• Differences between XML and HTML
– XML is not a markup language with defined
tags
– XML tags do not specify how text appears on
a Web page
