Don't ask how that happened - it was me (Hans) not Von (my Brother).
Sorry for any confusion...

Michael,
Thank you for your interest! Since you found the mailing list I imagine
you found the archives (of two whole messages).
I have my plan of attack laid out now, and I hope to begin the schema
this week.

The answer to that is the same as the answer to the question 'How does
the Genealogical Data Model differ from GEDCOM?' The answer is
addressed fairly well in the GDM spec (http://gentech.org/gdm - yes it's
in word format but hopefully openoffice can grok it or you can find a
windows box to read
Thanks Randy, that is an excellent summary.

Hello all,
I have decided to go with RELAX NG for the schema. I will explain my
reasons for doing so.
First and foremost, it is more readable. A developer getting his feet
wet with XML will be able to understand the schema just by reading it.
Understanding an XSD schema takes a little research,

Ok, I have most of the administrivia under control finally and I am able
to start doing some real work on this project. As always, check out the cvs
archives ( http://fugal.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ ) to see the latest
incarnation. I decided to invest a few minutes and familiarize myself
with the
As you can see I set up a script to email the list with cvs commit
information. This should make it easier to comment on changes...

Does anyone out there have some sample data in some sort of GDM format?
Something that would be easy to make into an instance of gdmxml?

I'm documenting a source in gdmxml now, and as I expected a lot of
questions have been raised in my mind.
First is the issue of citation-parts. The citation-part is used to
store citation parts such as title, author, page, etc. As it stands now
I would document "Marriages in Fladstrand Parish (
I got to thinking... I really should have done that in more than one
source. Something like

One repository exists in one place, so it seems natural to make
repository a child element of place. I've also made place-part a child
of place for the same reason.
The GDM calls for a sequence number on each place-part of a place, and
an ordering scheme of the place-parts of a place. With XML

Thanks for the explanations, Stan! Things are beginning to clear up.

So I guess the question becomes whether it is appropriate to do it this
way in gdmxml. Any opinions?

I realize I neglected to comment on TEI and Stan's project. I am only
vaguely familiar with TEI but I know that it is a general-purpose XML
standard for encoding text (as in transcriptions). It probably is
applicable in a genealogy framework, although I'm not sure how at this
point.
As for Stan's
After about 5 weeks I'm finally getting back to this. I hope everyone
else's minds are less clouded over than my own. :)
I have addressed all the elements of the evidence submodel to my liking
with the exception of representation. I have a few questions for the
members of the LWG out there, as
