Model-based Alternative
A spin-off effort has begun to develop a data model-based alternative data exchange mechanism. This new standard is (tentatively) titled the
VODaX (Virtual Observatory Data eXchange) format. Since
VODaX will be reliant upon an xml schema-based representation of the developing data model, a parallel effort has begun to develop this: see
VODMX.
