Foil 60 XML for GEM (Earthquake Prediction) Community?

From Integration of Information Technology and Computational Science in Education and Research Computer Science Seminar -- August 27 1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox
XML is the web distributed object model or
  • XML is ASCII format for database export or
  • XML is universal object serialization technology
If not XML, would need to design lots of database schema, "CORBA/Java Interface Definitions ..."
XML is just a generalized HTML (or a simplified SGML)
<faultsegment id="park101" date="Jan 1 2000" author="" source= .. Lat1="" lat2="" long1="" long2="" depth="" ..>Part of the Parkfield System</faultsegment> <stress type ="prediction" fault="park101" source="Multipole Simulation">(2.3,7.7,-7.2)</stress>
There are/will be wonderful tools to produce access edit and display XML
Need to design GEM specific XML tags
