Many XML languages are defined in two steps, the first in terms of a mapping from XML documents to an abstract data model, the second by defining the meaning of the constituents of the abstract data model with respect to some domain. This paper describes a novel approach to stating what it calls the “proximate semantics” of an XML language, that is, the mapping from XML information sets to language-specific (abstract) data models.
