XFML Core is an open XML format for publishing and sharing hierarchical faceted metadata and indexing efforts. XFML Core is lightweight and easy to implement, yet uniquely powerful.
October 08, 2002 XFML Core.
Today the XFML Core (aka XFML version 1.0) spec is officially published at http://purl.oclc.org/NET/xfml/core/. XFML Core is an XML language for sharing hierarchical faceted metadata and indexing efforts. XFML Core is a stable and frozen spec, and is permanently licensed to the public. XFML won’t solve all your metadata problems – it is focused on sharing indexing efforts with faceted metadata.
XFML was designed for power and simplicity. Coding an XFML export is often as easy as writing a template. Here is an XFML template for Moveabletype: http://poorbuthappy.com/ease/000494.html Drupal (http://drupal.org) has an XFML export module. Livetopics (http://www.novissio.com/products/liveTopics/liveTopics.html), a tool to add topical metadata to Radio Userland, also exports XFML: http://radio.weblogs.com/0107808/2002/10/07.html#a458
