>Hello All,
>
>I would like to invite you to review and comment on a new markup language 
>we are developing in the National Weather Service.  This markup language 
>is being designed to share our National Digital Weather Forecast Database 
>data with internet users and developers.  I have listed below the 
>documents that layout the language specification.
>    * 
> A  <http://www.nws.noaa.gov/mdl/XML/Design/MDL_XML_Design.ppt>PowerPoint 
> presentation  discussing the purpose of the our new markup language and 
> its elements and attributes.
>    * A  <http://www.nws.noaa.gov/mdl/XML/Design/MDL_XML_Design.doc>Word 
> document  laying out a more detailed specification of the new language.
>    * The markup 
> language  <http://www.nws.noaa.gov/mdl/XML/DWMLgen/schema/DWML.xsd>schema .
>    * A 
> proof-of-concept  <http://webdev1.weather.gov/john_s/DWML_soap.htm>SOAP 
> Service .
>Having described how we hope you can help us, let me now provide a little 
>background regarding this e-mail.  For those who don't know me, I'm a 
>software developer at the Meteorological Development Laboratory, which is 
>part of the National Weather Service.  We are trying to better leverage 
>our recently created <http://www.nws.noaa.gov/ndfd/>National Digital 
>Forecast Database by making user selected pieces of it available in XML 
>over the internet.  To that end, we have developed a draft specification 
>for a new markup language.  The specification recently underwent an 
>interval review at which it was decided that we needed technical input on 
>the adequacy of the language's data model from individuals with 
>considerable XML expertise.  Our Director of Internet Services, Bob Bunge, 
>assisted by Eliot Christian, has since provided me your name as someone 
>who is not only well steeped in XML but also might be willing to give us 
>feedback on our draft markup language.
>
>If you are willing to help further our XML development efforts, we would 
>very much appreciate your thoughts on the following questions and any 
>other issues you think appropriate?
>    * Is the data model something web applications developers will embrace?
>    * Does the data model support extension as additional elements are added?
>    * Does the schema provide an appropriate level of constraint on 
> element/attribute order and value?
>    * Will the format and content of the specification in the Word 
> document meet the needs of web application developers?
>If you have questions on the language specification, schema, or SOAP 
>service, please feel free let me know by e-mail or by calling me at (301) 
>713-0056 x111.  And in advance, let me thank you for sharing your valuable 
>time and expertise with us as we develop our Digital Forecast Markup Language.
>
>Regards,
>
>John
