Treffer: XML Style Guide

This standard is based on a document presented at the 47th Annual International Telemetering Conference. The original document contained an overview of XML modeling with some initial guidelines. In response to RCC task TG-124, the document was expanded to establish guidelines that allow multiple schemas to be used in a mix-and-match fashion, identify best practices, and create a standard look and feel. This standard was prepared by the Data Multiplex Committee of the Telemetry Group, Range Commanders Council. The XML Style Guide defines rules and guidelines for the development of modular XML schemas across the suite of schemas supported by the RCC (currently TMATS, MDL, IHAL, and DDML). The XML Style Guide is a common design reference for use by organizations that produce XML schemas, by ranges that receive XML instance documents that conform to the schemas, and by vendors who incorporate XML instance documents into their telemetry processing systems. The use of this style guide will ensure that all T&E XML schema standards share common design principles and a common look and feel in order to promote understanding, familiarity, and interoperability. ; The original document contains color images.
