http Metadata Access by XML

XML Metadata Access to CERA-2

ISO and other formats

Migration from WINI to ISO

As of March 2007 the preliminary xml metadata standard, which is not ISO (=WINI), is substituted by the ISO CERA scheme.

Please, find a frozen version of the new schema and an example below. Additionally, a link to the present ISO CERA version of the C3-Grid project is privided.

Any contributions are welcome.

The new ISO CERA schemes use xml routines from the exslt project as includes (see www.exslt.org).

The old WINI schema Version 0.9 (2004-12-09) can still be found at WINIschema0.9.xsd) and an example file (WINIexample0.9.xml)
