XFML hierarchical faceted metadata exchange standard
http://petervandijck.com/xfml
EXchangeable Faceted Metadata Language. 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. The XFML 1.0 spec is here. A 2007 note for researchers. My take on XFML now is this: it was an interesting experiment, a so-so spec (not great, not bad either), but I now don't think there's demand for a format to exchange faceted data, and it hasn't been used much. It was fun though.
