* It was Don's original posting in Cavers Digest 5699 which triggered
the formation of this Working Group.
And let's not forget the earlier pre-XML work on cave data exchange formats including (and there are no doubt others):
- The HTO format for cave survey data transfer produced
by Doug Dotson, US, around 1993-94, and contributed to by many others,
some of whose names appear above. Many of the issues we have discussed
and will discuss in this WG have already been the subject of considerable
debate.
- UISIC's Karst Data Interchange (KDI) format, which was issued for comment at
the UIS Budapest Congress in 1989, demonstrated at the UIS Beijing Congress in 1993,
and a later version on display at the UIS Swiss Congress in 1997. This was derived
from an earlier KDI format produced by Peter Matthews, AU, and used by the Australian Speleological Federation (ASF) since 1984 for handling data transfers
in its national cave database system.
- Any others?
