Re: where to start

Lara -

You appear to be on the right track.  Try www.xml.org they are THE authority
on the subject.  You also might want to pick-up the MXL Bible.  I find it
very useful.  Thomson Financial is currently working on a Schema and DTD for
the financial markets,  what business is your client in?  Please feel free
to contact me with any questions you might have.
