Steven J DeRose (born 1960) is a computer scientist noted for his contributions to computational linguistics and to key standards related to document processing, mostly around ISO's Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) and W3C's Extensible Markup Language (XML).
His contributions include the following:
HyTime Text Encoding Initiative XPath –- editor XPointer –- editor XLink –- editor OSIS—chairman XML
He served as Chief Scientist of the Scholarly Technology Group, and Adjunct Associate Professor of Computer Science, at Brown University. While there he received NSF and NEHNEH Grant number: PA-23769-01, 5/1/2001 – 4/30/2004. John Unsworth. "NEH grant". Posting to tei-council list.

His 1987 article with James Coombs and Allen Renear, "Markup Systems and the Future of Scholarly Text Processing", is a seminal source for the theory of markup systems, and has been widely cited and reprinted.
The article "What is Text, Really?". has also been widely cited and reprinted, (a special issue with multiple articles in response ). and led to several follow-on articles In addition, he has published 2 books (Making Hypermedia Work: A User's Guide to HyTime and The SGML FAQ Book); as well as articles in a variety of journals, magazines, and proceedings.
