XML Customized Services
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language much like HTML. HTML was designed to display data and to
focus on how data looks. XML was designed to describe data and to focus on what data is.
The following are characteristics of XML:
• XML tags are not predefined. You must define your own tags.
• XML uses a Document Type Definition (DTD) or an XML Schema to describe the data.
• XML with a DTD or XML Schema is designed to be self-descriptive
• XML is a W3C Standard Recommendation
Creating Customized XML Services on the IP Phones
The XML application for the IP phones allows users to create custom services they can use via the phone’s keyboard and
display. These services include things like weather and traffic reports, contact information, company info, stock quotes, or
custom call scripts.
The IP phone XML application supports the following proprietary objects that allow for the customization of the IP
phone’s display.
