1: G2-Standards

Develop and maintain an XML-based standard for exchanging and describing news content

Other Information:

These are the latest XML-based specifications for exchanging and describing news content. The G2 label means that the standards are part of a common lineage that is modular and fully compatible with the latest XML technologies. The modular construction means that software developers can re-use code when working with more than one G2 standard, a great way to cut development time and costs. For example, NewsML-G2, SportsML-G2 and EventsML-G2 have much of their structure in common so, for example, projects that work with sports results or event data (such as community calendars) can share much of the development efforts.
