How does CML re-use other XML protocols?
We re-use concepts and protocols from the W3C and other bodies wherever possible. It is entirely possible in the future that some of the current components in CML might then be replaced at an appropriate date by accepted W3C approaches. The abstract data types we have encountered widely in “chemical publications” are listed in Table 2. In each case we have listed one or more XML-based protocols to support them. Table 2. Chemically Relevant data types and Associated XML-based Protocols.
