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