[12] [[EBML]] は、[[データ形式]]の一種です。

[13] [[XML]] の影響を受けていますが、
[[バイナリー]]データの交換を想定しており、構文上も[[データモデル]]上も直接の互換性はありません。

[14] [[XML]] 同様に[[文書型]]を定義して任意の目的に利用できる[[データ形式]]
([[メタ言語][構造化構文]]) を謳っていますが、実際には [[Matroska]] と [[WebM]]
でしか使われていないようです。

> EBML was designed to be a simplified binary extension of XML for the purpose of storing and manipulating data in a hierarchical form with variable field lengths.
> It uses the same paradigms as XML files, meaning that syntax and semantics are separated. So a generic EBML library could read any format based on it. The interpretation of data is up to a specific application that knows how each elements (equivalent of XML tag) has to be handled.
