gml was invented in '69 at the science center http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#545tech

by "G", "M", and "L". and gml support added to the existing cms script processing command. later in the 70s, it was standardized in iso as SGML

also in somewhat the same mid-70s time-frame ... the original relational, sql implementation (system/r) was done on the same platform at sjr
