CDF Markup Language (CDFML)
The CDF office realizes that scientific progress is often impeded by the lack of, or excessive multiplicity of, available standards for data formats and structures and/or data format translators. In a bid to facilitate and promote data sharing with other data formats, the CDF office has decided to adopt Extensible Markup Language (XML) as a basis for establishing interoperability with other scientific data formats and created CDF Markup Language (CDFML) to describe CDF data and metadata.CDFML Document Type Definition (DTD) and Schema
- CDFML DTD
- Sample XML that conforms to the CDFML DTD
- Sample XML that conforms to the CDFML DTD
- CDFML Schema
- Sample XML that conforms to the CDFML Schema
- Sample XML that conforms to the CDFML Schema
CDFML Tools
- CDF2CDFML - dumps the contents of a CDF file into a XML file that
conforms to the CDF DTD or CDF Schema.
- CDFML2CDF - creates a CDF file from a XML file that conforms to the CDF DTD or CDF Schema.
These two utilities are bundled in cdfml.jar that is included in the standard
CDF distribution package. cdfml.jar is also available as a separate download
from the Unix/Linux distribution directory.
