Review 31 First Commentary On Practical SGML Norman E. Smith, Science Applications International Corp. Background The first SGML book I read (about 4 years ago) was the first edition of PracticalSGML by Eric van Herwijnen. There were only two or three other SGML books available at the time, each aimed at a different audience. For technical audiences, Practical SGMLwas the choice to learn about SGML without having to wade through the SGML standard in the form of Goldfarb (1990). Practical SGMLtouched on areas of authoring and the thenavailable tools. Its main thrust was introducing SGML and teaching how to write SGML Document Type Definitions (DTDs), which is one of the skiUs necessary to become your organization's SGML expert. In spite of the few technical errors that have been documented over the years, the first edition of PracticalSGML was an excellent book. I admit to being overwhelmed on the first reading; the book covered a great deal of very technical material. However, when I finally took a formal SGML class, I discovered that much more SGML information had sunk in than I realized. In fact, the class made sense and built upon the knowledge I obtained from the book.
