Hi all: I decided to post an early release of the GPSml XMLSchema for GPS (Global Position System) information to allow some feedback. GPSml V0.5 is now available at http://www.chaeron.com/gps The design goals for GPSml are: - Be an XML format for all GPS-generated data, both real-time position related data and collections (such as waypoints, tracks, routes) - Be easy to generate in software, even apps without XML understanding. - Be easy for modern XML parsers to parse and feed in to applications. - Let a single file contain real-time position information and arbitrary collections (such as waypoints, tracks, routes) - Scale gracefully to handle both simple and complex requirements - Be flexible and extensible since the GPS arena is evolving rapidly - Follow current XMLSchema best practices (where known) The distribution contains a detailed readme file, XMLSpy generated documentation and the full GPSml schema. It also contains sample instance documents that were generated by the open-source Chaeron Java-based GPS Access Library demo program (also at http://www.chaeron.com/gps ) Keep in mind that this is a very early draft and so is a bit rough around the edges and not complete yet. Any/all feedback is much appreciated......I'ld like to know if I am going down the right path with the design....
