PointersThe field of software engineering can heavily profit from markup languages, since they provide validation of structure, display-independent formats and sophisticated linking capabilities.But research should concentrate on the following aspects -Web integration of all types of project documents, with full support for notations, code and diagrams.Creation of tools that take advantage of the semantic richness of markup languages in order to provide sophisticated analysis and verifications.Exploitation of sophisticated hypertext linking mechanisms to express complex interconnections among different documents of the software process.Identification of key aspects of documents, process descriptions, and all other types of data objects that are relevant to the field o f software engineering and that can benefit from standardization.Creation of tools that provide useful, non-trivial services through the comparison and integration of information deduced from data objects relevant to the field of software engineering and not created to work together.
