DNA is using XML as the format for information exchange between elements of the overall structure i.e. data acquisition, expert system and Mosflm server. It's also used to define the objects used to represent data collection requests, index requests and responses etc. in the DNA Expert System.
The XML in the DNA project is defined using XML Schema. The XML Schema language formalizes the constraints, expressed as rules or a model of structure, that apply to a class of XML documentation. For more information about XML Schema, see the W3C XML Schema web page.
You can browse the currect DNA XML Schema Definitions (XSD) by following these links:
The following documentation is outdated but kept till more documentation has been added to the XML Schema definitions:
