Subject: Re: XML anyone?

Kevin,

It's not really 3D UI (yet), but Weather Decision Support System II,
coming soon from Natianal Severe Storms Lab in Oklahoma, uses XML for
its dervied products. WDSS II uses radar data to compute rainfall,
detect mesocyclones, detect tornados, etc etc. The radar image itself
is not in XML, but the many many files derived from the radar image are
in XML. As far as I know, the XML usage is fairly straightforward in
describing geometry of weather events derived from radar images.
