A good place to start, but which I can't reproduce on the Web, is Chapter
17 of Tim Berners-Lee's _Weaving the Web_ (Harper San Francisco, 1999.)
It's more about RDF than XML, though RDF is described as a layer on top of
XML. It's a useful start, but Tim qualifies it by noting:

That remains true, whatever else one may think of the Semantic Web.
