We have been working on an open standard for structured data on the web called EDML, and have just placed a draft version at http://www.edml.com. EDML has been designed specifically for Web-based EDI and allows encoding of data 'types' through name/value pairs in Web forms, using coding schemes based directly upon existing standards. It can be used either independently of XML or alongside it. Sample EDML "Types" have been defined for EDIFACT, GEDCOM and HL7. We are keen for any comments and hope that the work done for EDML may be of use for those developing Internet-based EDI, XML or 'metadata' applications.
