Greetings, This is my first contact with any open source community, so please forgive my ignorance. I am working with a team, trying to solve a problem for the US Department of Defense (DOD), which I think Daffodil is a candidate solution. Here is a short synopsis:
1. A contractor develops a specialized data system that produces a stream of data 2. The data is described, more or less, in some contractor produced ICD documentation 3. DOD test engineers write code based on the ICD to ingest the new data stream Wouldn't it be nice if there existed a standard description of the data that could be produced in step 2 which could be used in a universal decoder that replaces the need for step 3. From my research, I believe daffodil could be that technology. I am looking for an insider perspective on the state of the incubation and how close it is to being prime time. If work needs to be done, could DOD developers partner with this community to remove any road blocks. Finally, is there anyone or a few individuals who are good representatives of this effort that would be willing to participate in a dialog or Q&A on this subject. If I am not going about this the right way, please redirect me. v/r Kelly Cooper
