This issue is to devoted to 'architectural forms' - a component of the HyTime standard. Steven Newcomb asks whether you should be interested in this revolutionary application of SGML in an overview of the new features in the standard. Martin Bryan illustrates the application of architectural forms in the form of Topic Navigation Maps; and Hasse Haitto writes on the implications of the emerging standards for product developers.
We also herald two regular columns. Patent Watch gives details of patenting activity in SGML-related technologies - allowing you to see who is protecting ideas for future competitive advantage. On a lighter note Gleanings from Bradypus is an irreverent look at developments in the industry. Please feel free to send titbits so that we can feed them to our new creation.
