[QUOTE="Athrawn17, post: 1188667, member: 14915"] As an export you are thinking about for a character sheet and such I believe correct? And this would just be a raw data dump? Which would conform to the, let's call it a "standard" for now. Right? Then anyone should be able to make their own XSLT and make pretty char sheets out of the data, no matter what software did the dumping. My question then, after looking at the CSX XML data, is that it's just a standard for the output data. Should there also be a standard for the storage of the data....... Really each product could then do whatever they wanted with the data...apply rules and such...but just having an output "standard" is only half of the solution. One would also need a storage "standard" so I could add all the custom info I wanted to, and then import it into whatever program I, or my GM, feels like using. Sorry, I should introduce myself as well. I've been working on this as a hobby for about 2 years now. My senior project in college was doing this. I have a schema for storage and the software (written in java), gives the user a nice lovely GUI to create all this data in xml. Which then the second piece, the part that's not done yet, would use to create the raw character data dump. It's a hobby and something I do to relax (writting insurance software can be very boring at times, but it does pay the bills). Anyway, just my two bits on this....since my software doesn't even work yet :-) Cheers! Athrawn17 [/QUOTE]
