Summary: How do they interact and live together?


  I am trying to understand how SMGL and ODA can co-exist.
  I don't know an awful lot about SGML, but as I see it, SGML is a meta
language for describing a markup language.  Also, SGML describes the
structure of a document.
  ODA also describes the structure of a document, it also describes much
more.
  How can ODA and SGML co-exist, it seems that there is a lot of overlap
between the two standards.

I realize that my questions are probably badly phrased, but if I knew
what to ask, I wouldn't need to ask it!

Is anybody out there using SGML or ODA, heeelllp!
