The Virtual Observatory Data eXchange format will define a data model-based alternative to VOTable.
The main goals of this enterprise are:
to define a semantically rich data exchange mechanism
to ensure transmitted data retains the semantic meaning of its source
to enable data extracts to be combined, analysed and manipulated without human intervention
to provide a mechanism for applications to exchange meaningful data
A key requirement of VODaX is that there should exist a XML Schema-based implementation of the IVOA Data Model: a parallel effort (VODMX) will address this requirement.
This page will contain links to Notes and proposed standards related to VODaX.
