The WAP specification was released in its
first version the 30th of April 1998. Since then most cellular
vendors has been active to develop network components and
terminals for WAP.
WAP gives a service development architecture similar to
internet. The cornerstone of wap is WML, Wireless Markup
Language. WML is based on XML, the new standard that might well replace
html as the standard for web pages on the internet. WML pages
can be stored on standard internet servers.
XML is a meta-language defining how document specific languages
can be defined. XML is tailored for the Internet, and is based
upon SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language), which
originally was designed for advanced technical documentation.
Another part of WML is WML script (WMLS), a scripting language
similar to Java script. WMLS gives added functionality to WAP
applications. Examples of WMLS functionality can be accessing
the address book of the phone or accessing a wallet on a smart
card.
