We provide here a summary of XML resources and tools that are were under development or in use by the XML Group at NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, Code 630.1 when it closed down in 2003.

It allows information (data, metadata, documentation, resources of any kind) to be expressed in a structured, flexible, and easily parsible manner.
