Charles F. 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, also referred to as WWW, W3, or the Web. [3] He co-invented the concept of markup languages. [4]
In 1969 Charles Goldfarb, leading a small team at IBM, [5] developed the first markup language, called Generalized Markup Language, [6] or GML. Goldfarb coined the term GML, [7] an initialism for the three researchers, Charles Goldfarb, Ed Mosher and Ray Lorie, who worked on the project. [8]
In 1974, Goldfarb designed SGML [9] and subsequently wrote the first SGML parser, ARC-SGML. [10] SGML facilitates the sharing of machine readable documents for large projects. SGML was used by the military and aerospace, [11] and industrial publishing. [12] Goldfarb continued working to turn SGML into the ISO 8879 standard, [13] and served as its editor in the standardization committee.
Goldfarb held a J.D. from Harvard Law School. [14] After working at IBM's Almaden Research Center, [15] he was an independent consultant based in Belmont, California. [16]
