VODaX < IVOA

The Virtual Observatory Data eXchange format will define a data model-based alternative to [[IvoaVOTable][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 [[http://www.w3.org/XML/Schema][XML Schema]]-based implementation of the [[IvoaDataModel][IVOA Data Model]]: a parallel effort (VODMX) will address this requirement.

This page will contain links to Notes and proposed standards related to VODaX.
