A standard method of providing boot information to
the operating system that replaces the Basic Input/
Output System (BIOS). The information that EFI

of this information prior to starting the boot cycle.
eXtensible Markup Language (XML)
1. A method used to store information in an organized
manner. The storage technique relies on hierarchical
organization and uses special statements
called tags to separate each storage element. Each
tag defines a data attribute and can contain properties
that further define each data element. 2. A standardized
Web page design language used to
incorporate data structuring within standard HTML
documents. For example, you could use XML to display
database information using something other
than forms or tables. It??™s actually a lightweight
version of Standard Generalized Markup Language
(SGML) and is supported by the SGML community.
