Title:

Meteorological Data and XML

Abstract:

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a standard for communicating structured data. Use of XML is rapidly expanding, but the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has not as yet taken a leading role in developing XML standards for meteorological information. This document analyzes the present use of XML in Meteorology and proposes options for WMO actions with a view to recommend a WMO standard for the exchange of data and metadata in XML.
