Physical Markup Language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Physical Markup Language (PML) is a markup language based on XML for communicating a description of physical environments and the objects within them, their relationships to you, each other and the space. Within a location, the devices (RFID tags) controlled by the PML language act as parts of a browser. Together they render the experience. Each device contains a component that interprets the PML related to the device’s capabilities.

In "http://autoid.mit.edu/CS/files/12/download.aspx" I think the statement below by Auto-ID labs states that it are not RFID-tags but programmable tags that PML Core is based on the existing standard, XML Schema Language. It uses “tags” to format the data before a data is sent. It has to be noted that the term “tags” here does not refer to RFID tags, but instead it refers to the concept of tags in a programming language, such as <pmlcore:Sensor>. All “tags” have the prefix of “<” and postfix of “>” within a document.
