Abstract:	This is an introduction to the eXtensible Markup Language (XML). XML is a key technology component in the VO development of data models and standard formats for services, e.g. VOTable data formats for cone and SIA (Simple Image Access) services, VOResource schemas for VO Registries, and Space Time Coordinate (STC) schema. We present here the basic anatomy of XML documents, discuss the advantages and uses of XML and provide simple examples for how to describe your own data types. We also discuss reading and writing XML including the commercially available APIs and tools included in the NVO Summer School library.
