May I suggest (the large) RIM model for HL7 v3. It's XML. http://www.hl7.org/Library/data-model/index.cfm
It may not be a simple implementation of what you're looking for but it is a standard and more than likely has too much. I wish I had a quick little XML sample to paste in but I couldn't dig up anything quickly. (I suggest a search of the site). /David. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Toppenberg Sent: Monday, June 13, 2005 10:23 PM To: hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] XML data export OK. So it would be most helpful to do one's XML export using tags that everyone agrees on. But this is apparently still an evolving area, where consensus has not been reached. So in the mean time, I think I will try to design a my XML export system such that the end user can choose to simply use the data labels for individual fields, or optionally specify different XML tags.
