摘要：This paper discusses data interchange standards. It introduces a reference model in which the relevant issues are studied on several levels and in a layered manner: 1) the atom level, 2) the elementary level, 3) the structural level and 4) the application level. Each of these levels is specific and is subject to a variety of standards. The heterogeneous nature of the media (text, graphics, sound, video, animation, etc.) involves a multitude of corresponding formats that bring out the need to establish and apply appropriate standards in order to facilitate data interchange. WWW demands a standard that will guarantee format stability and data compatibility.
