Abstract

In this paper, we propose a first design for an XML-based Environmental Markup Language. The proposal builds heavily on existing de facto standards for environmental metadata, such as CDS, UDK, and GEIN. EML serves to wrap and, wherever possible, harmonize these standards. EML consists of two parts: EML MetaData and EML Data eXchange. EML MetaData is a special namespace and vocabulary used by information brokers that are part of the Semantic Web and have a special focus on environmental concerns. EML Data eXchange consists of a core set of attribute and document type definitions that shall be used when exchanging any kind of environmental data content.
