O gdmxml, a RELAX NG Schema to validate XML documents with genealogical information according to the GENTECH Genealogical Data Model. * GedML: Genealogical Data in XML - combines the GEDCOM data model with the XML standard. * GDMUML - Genealogical Data Models in the Unified Modeling Language Also based on GedML and GEDCOM, but in a more human-readable format. * FamilyML based on XML and allows the exchange of genealogical data. * GEDC - An XML-Based Standard for Genealogy - originated as an outgrowth of the GEDCOM 6.0 Beta specification and Gentech's Genealogical Data Model (GDM). * Event-Oriented GEDCOM specification - Draft Release 1.0 (12 September 1994) (Microsoft Word in a ZIP file) This is from the Wikipedia page on GEDCOMS and alternatives, to add to the discussion of whether a Drupal-based module/feature could be developed around something other than the GEDCOM 'standard'. So I am oscillating between using PGV, TNG or doing it the DRUPAL way, considering also that PGV, TNG integration may not be up-to-date either.Īre there Drupalistas out there that would care to share the urls of their family history sites on any software? Pro's? Con's? The other interesting note is that there is no 'standard' as different programmes that import/export these types of files choose how to handle the fields differently.Īnd interesting thread related to all this is here. It would appear that the LDS who originated the GEDCOM felt that an XML 6 version diverted from its primary focus, and they now have their new initiative Family Search and are more than likely not to continue active development of the GEDCOM 'standard'. I have just been researching the GEDCOM 'standard' and thought it is a relevant part of the discussion that a new release hasn't come out in 13 years since 5.5.
