Welcome to the home of XMML - eXploration and Mining Markup Language. This is a collaborative web-site for development and maintenance of XMML.

Note: the XMML project is no longer active. Follow-up activities are housed in the GeoSciML project, through the Auscope Grid project, and generic elements (some of which started in the XMML project) are documented in the AppSchemas web

Subversion

The XMML schema documents are maintained in a Subversion VCS at the address https://www.seegrid.csiro.au/subversion/xmml.

A Subversion client, such as TortoiseSVN, may be used to connect to the repository. See SubversionTutorial for more information.

A ViewCVS interface is available.

Alternatively, the links below provide a simple web-interface.

• XmmlSVN:gml - GML
• XmmlSVN:XMML - XMML
• XmmlSVN:GeoSciML - GeoSciML
• XmmlSVN:ADX - Assay Data Exchange

A read-only mirror of the repository is available from http://www.seegrid.csiro.au/xsd/. For important information concerning validation, see XmlNamespacesAndSchemaDocuments
