UNC
Universal Naming Convention or Uniform Naming Convention, a PC format for specifying
the location of resources on a local-area network (LAN). UNC uses the following format:
\\server-name\shared-resource-pathname
So, for example, to access the file test.txt in the directory examples on the shared server silo,
you would write:
\\silo\examples\test.txt
You can also use UNC to identify shared peripheral devices, such as printers. The idea behind
UNC is to provide a format so that each shared resource can be identified with a unique
address.
UNC is supported by Windows and many network operating systems.
XML
Extensible Markup Language. XML enables the definition, transmission, validation, and
interpretation of data between applications and between organizations.
