Description


Objective: The aim of MarineXML is to demonstrate that extensible Mark-Up Language (XML) technology can be used to develop a framework that improves the interoperability of data for the marine community and specifically in support of ocean observing systems. XML was developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to improve data transfer over the Internet. With the advent of XML, the global oceanographic community has available an opportunity to create a truly universal marine data standard. Unlike earlier standardisation initiatives, XML can support existing data fonnats and information systems while providing maximum benefits when included in the development of new systems. Thus existing investments in instruments, computing systems and staff training are protected, and all users are able to benefit substantially from the standardisation and interoperability of data that resides in such a framework.
