Announcing GedML I have put together a proposal and some simple software for handling genealogical data in XML. This takes the data model of the well-established GEDCOM standard and represents it with the encoding syntax of XML. The immediate benefit, I hope, is that it becomes much easier to write applications that process the data, because you don't have to worry about the parsing, character encoding, etc. Details on http://home.iclweb.com/icl2/mhkay/gedml.html All comments welcome, especially (from this group) on the DTD design. But bear in mind that 100% object model compatibility with GEDCOM was a key objective. "Compatibility means deliberately repeating other people's mistakes".
