Yahoo! Groups: XGenML, Developing a new XML standard for genealogy

The primary purpose of this group is to create an open XML specification for genealogical information. The standard will be based on the work of others who have started to create genealogical models and XML standards, including the LDS church with GEDCOM 6.0 XML, Gentech, GenXML, GedML, GeniML, and any others. This standard is to be an open standard, which will be able to be used by genealogical applications to easily create, exchange, provide and analyze this information.
