This we define as a group of defined formats that support scientific data, note taking and sketches
XSIL (Scientific data Interchange) from Caltech defines metadata needed to specify scientific data files including high level parameters and methods needed to read data
VML is Vector Graphics Mark up Language
DrawML is designed to support simple technical drawings (easier than VML but VML should be able to do this?)
VRML (3D scenes) reimplemented in XML as X3D
MathML Mathematical Expressions
ChemML Support Chemistry
Above exist already but each field needs to get to work on:
technicalfieldML Supports special needs of each discipline technicalfield (e.g. botanyML supports plants, ChemML molecules etc.)
