== Markup language standardization ==

The [[IEEE 1855]], the IEEE STANDARD 1855–2016, is about a specification language named [[Fuzzy markup language|Fuzzy Markup Language]] (FML)<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Acampora |first1=Giovanni |last2=Di Stefano |first2=Bruno |last3=Vitiello |first3=Autilia |title=IEEE 1855™: The First IEEE Standard Sponsored by IEEE Computational Intelligence Society [Society Briefs] |journal=IEEE Computational Intelligence Magazine |date=November 2016 |volume=11 |issue=4 |pages=4–6 |doi=10.1109/MCI.2016.2602068 }}</ref> developed by the [[IEEE Standards Association]]. FML allows modelling a fuzzy logic system in a human-readable and hardware independent way. FML is based on eXtensible Markup Language ([[XML]]). The designers of fuzzy systems with FML have a unified and high-level methodology for describing interoperable fuzzy systems. IEEE STANDARD 1855–2016 uses the [[W3C]] [[XML Schema (W3C)|XML Schema]] definition language to define the syntax and semantics of the FML programs.

Prior to the introduction of FML, fuzzy logic practitioners could exchange information about their fuzzy algorithms by adding to their software functions the ability to read, correctly parse, and store the result of their work in a form compatible with the [[Fuzzy Control Language]] (FCL) described and specified by Part 7 of [[IEC 61131]].<ref name="Di Stefano2013">{{cite book |doi=10.1007/978-3-642-35488-5_1 |chapter=On the Need of a Standard Language for Designing Fuzzy Systems |title=On the Power of Fuzzy Markup Language |series=Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing |year=2013 |last1=Di Stefano |first1=Bruno N. |volume=296 |pages=3–15 |isbn=978-3-642-35487-8 }}</ref><ref name="AcamporaLoia2013">{{cite book |doi=10.1007/978-3-642-35488-5 |title=On the Power of Fuzzy Markup Language |series=Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing |year=2013 |volume=296 |isbn=978-3-642-35487-8 }}</ref>
