ebXML (Electronic Business using eXtensible Markup Language)

luisBer — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 17:25:00 -0800

ebXML is a fairly mature set of developments in the use of XML to exchange information on the web. One of many ongoing ebXML activities is the specification of functionality for registries and repositories for ontologies.

Ecological Metadata Language

swatson — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 06:20:00 -0800

XML application using modules to hold ecological metadata. The modules, once populated, contain information about datasets (including variables or "attributes", their definitions, units), citations, software, and protocols/methods. EML includes a coverage module, which can detail the geographic (bounding coordinates and a G-ring polygon definition), temporal (ISO 8601 Date and Time Specification) and standard taxonomic extents of the datasets.

Ecological Metadata Language (EML)

allenmacklin — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 07:03:00 -0800

EML is based on prior work done by the Ecological Society of America and associated efforts (Michener et al., 1997, Ecological Applications). EML is implemented as a series of XML document types that can by used in a modular and extensible manner to document ecological data. Each EML module is designed to describe one logical part of the total metadata that should be included with any ecological dataset.

IEEE 1451

graybeal — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 07:03:00 -0800

There is no strong center of the IEEE 1451 web presence, but a google search on "IEEE 1451" finds many interesting and useful references.

IEEE 1451 is a comprehensive, extremely detailed standard for describing sensors and actuators (together, "transducers"). From the web site:

Marine XML

kwalz — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 17:40:00 -0800

The Marine XML (eXstensible Markup Language) structure has been developed to encapsulate marine data. It provides an efficient means to store, transfer and display marine data.

MarineXML Testbed

rkl — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 16:06:00 -0800

The MarineXML Testbed, the major deliverable of the EU MarineXML Project, demonstrated data interoperability through 'use' metadata (CSML developed by NERC DataGrid) by displaying a wide range of disparate oceanographic data types through the Seven Cs SeeMyDEnc viewer.

N4242 XML based standard

swatson — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 18:39:00 -0800

This standard specifies the XML data format that shall be used for both required and optional data to be made available by radiation instruments. The purpose of the ANSI N42.42 standard is to facilitate manufacturer-independent transfer of information from radiation measurement instruments for use in Homeland Security.

NcML: NetCDF XML

ngalbraith — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 05:57:00 -0800

From the website:

NcML is an XML representation of netCDF metadata. It is similar to the netCDF CDL (network Common data form Description Language), except that it uses XML syntax. An NcML file essentially contains the same header information one gets from a netCDF file with the "ncdump -h" command.

OBIS Schema

kstocks — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 07:03:00 -0800

The OBIS schema is the content standard used by OBIS, the Ocean Biogeographic Information System. It represents an extension of the Darwin Core Version 2. It is designed for marine biodiversity data, specifically to record the capture or observation of a particular species or other taxonomic group at a particular location. It can also be applied to museum specimen data.

SensorML

graybeal — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 07:03:00 -0800

A mature and active specification. The model is presented in several different forms (graphical, XML schema), with lots of documentation, and so should be useful to most developers.

The following description was taken from the web site on 2004.11.20.

Purpose: SensorML provides the models and XML schema encoding for defining the geometric, dynamic, and observational characteristics of a sensor. The purpose of SensorML is:
