Developing Generalized Markup Language
Charles F. Goldfarb, (born November 26, 1939) is known as the father of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML)[1] and grandfather of HTML[2] and the World Wide Web, also referred to as WWW, W3, or the Web.[3] He co-invented the concept of markup languages.[4]
In 1969 Charles Goldfarb, leading a small team at IBM,[5] developed the first markup language, called Generalized Markup Language,[6] or GML. Goldfarb coined the term GML,[7] an initialism for the three researchers, Charles Goldfarb, Ed Mosher and Ray Lorie, who worked on the project.[8]
In 1974, Goldfarb designed SGML[9] and subsequently wrote the first SGML parser, ARC-SGML.[10] SGML facilitates the sharing of machine readable documents for large projects. SGML was used by the military and aerospace,[11] and industrial publishing.[12] Goldfarb continued working to turn SGML into the ISO 8879 standard,[13] and served as its editor in the standardization committee.
Goldfarb held a J.D. from Harvard Law School.[14] After working at IBM's Almaden Research Center,[15] he was an independent consultant based in Belmont, California.[16]
