XDF_017.xsd - eXtensible Data Format - version 0.17
Date: March 27, 2002
XML Schema.
An XDF document contains arrays and data structures. It is
designed to be both an interchange format for scientific data
and to be of archival quality.
Multidimensional tables and scalar or vector fields are represented
in a consistent way and become thoroughly self describing.
Axial information is well described so that the space in which
each part of the data structure resides is fully described.
This means that XDF provides a consistent way to hold spectra
with their wavelength scales, images with coordinate axes,
vector fields with unitDirection, data cubes in complicated
spaces, tables with column headers, and series of tables
with each table having a unique name.
