A dozen primers on important information standards

To bring you up-to-date on as many standards as possible, the editor in chief commissioned a dozen primers. In each, a subject expert explains one standard in just one page. This directly fulfills part of CIL’s mission, which is to deliver practical articles that make technology understandable. This value-added section covers these applications: Atom, COinS, MADS, MARC 21 / MARCXML, MIX, MXG, OpenSearch, PREMIS, RESTful HTTP, unAPI, XMPP (aka Jabber), and ZeeRex. Find out what these acronyms stand for and what these apps can do for you.
