Abstract: This paper sets out to describe the current and future uses of SGML and HyTime within UK universities. It proposes that academics' reasons for adopting SGML and HyTime are to solve problems which are, in fact, identical to those also faced by those working outside the academic community. The research initiatives and experiences of academics can provide other potential users of SGML and/or HyTime with several valuable lessons, which can save them time, money and wasted effort. The work of academics can also provide useful, practical examples of the effective use of SGML, and the benefits to be gained therefrom.
