Extensible Hypertext Markup Language

Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML) is a reformulation of HTML using XML syntax. In addition, XHTML modularization allows for the extension of XHTML's layout and presentation capabilities, using the extensibility of XML.

Extensible Markup Language

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is the universal format for data on the Web that uses tags to give context and structure to content. XML does not replace HTML. Rather, XML is a complimentary format that is platform independent, allowing XML data to be rendered on any device, such as a computer, cell phone, personal digital assistant (PDA) or tablet device.  XML allows developers to easily describe and deliver rich, structured data from any application in a standard, consistent way. Whereas HTML offers a fixed and predefined number of tags, XML neither defines nor limits tags. Instead, XML provides a framework for defining tags and the relationship between them.

Generic Role

Hypertext Markup Language

Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is a system of marking up a document so it can be published on the World Wide Web. Documents prepared in HTML contain reference graphics and formatting tags. Put another way, HTML is a series of predefined tags that primarily focus on describing how content appears on the Web. For example, HTML describes the font, font size, and colour of the text in this paragraph should be when viewed by a Web browser. HTML offers content but no real context.

Instrument

An instrument is a tradable asset of any kind. It is a classification of a security, for example, bonds, equities and warrants.  A financial instrument can be categorised depending on whether they are cash instruments or derivative instruments. (1) Cash instruments are financial instruments whose value is determined directly by markets. They can be divided into securities, which are readily transferable, and other cash instruments such as loans and deposits, where both borrower and lender have to agree on a transfer.  (2) Derivative instruments are financial instruments which derive their value from the value and characteristics of one or more underlying entities such as an asset, index, or interest rate. They can be divided into exchange-traded derivatives and over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives.  Alternatively, financial instruments can be categorized by \"asset class\" depending on whether they are equity based (reflecting ownership of the issuing entity) or debt based (reflecting a loan the investor has made to the issuing entity).

Interest Rate Issuer

ISIN

(International Securities Identification Number). All internationally traded securities issuers are urged to use the ISIN numbering scheme, which is now the accepted standard by virtually all countries. An International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) uniquely identifies a security. The ISIN code is generally a 12-character alpha-numerical code. An ISIN consists of three parts: a two letter country code, a nine character alpha-numeric national security identifier, and a single check digit.  The ISIN does not contain information characterizing financial instruments but serves for uniform identification of a security at trading and settlement.    An ISIN cannot be issued to two different securities.  Example: Daimler AG stock trades through almost 30 trading platforms and exchanges worldwide, and is priced in five different currencies. It has the same ISIN on each, though not the same ticker symbol.  The United States and Canada primarily use a similar scheme known as a CUSIP number.

Primary Listed

Primary listed companies are those companies that first listed on an Exchange. A company can be Primary Listed, Secondary Listed or Dual Listed. For example, Anglo first listed on the NSX Exchange. Thereafter it listed on the JSE Exchange. As such, its primary listing is on the NSX and its secondary listing is on the JSE. Dual Listed companies have listed on different Exchanges but at the same time. A primary listed issuer is an issuer who complies fully with the JSE Listings Requirements.  If an Issuer has more than one listing and the JSE’ s is secondary it means that the JSE accepts the primary listing’s requirements and therefore the issuer will not have to comply with all the JSE Listings Requirements.

RDS

RDS also tracks trading or business calendars separately for each Exchange  associated with, or cleared through, the JSE. Updates and additions to RDS results  in the creation of messages that are sent to downstream systems.

RSS

RSS (most commonly translated as \"Really Simple Syndication\" but sometimes \"Rich Site Summary\") is a family of XML-based web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format.[2] An RSS document (which is called a \"feed\", \"web feed\", or \"channel\") includes full or summarized text, plus metadata such as publishing dates and authorship. Web feeds benefit publishers by letting them syndicate content automatically. They benefit readers who want to subscribe to timely updates from favoured websites or to aggregate feeds from many sites into one place. RSS feeds can be read using software called an \"RSS reader\", \"feed reader\", or \"aggregator\", which can be web-based, desktop-based, or mobile-device-based. A standardized XML file format allows the information to be published once and viewed by many different programs.
