FSX (File System XML)

FSX Project Description

FSX is a schema and a framework for representing file system information in an XML document. It uses a modular structure for representing generic concepts as well as concepts specific for particular file systems. Additionally, FSX defines a framework for integrating file contents with the file system information, so that such a document provides an integrated view of the file system structure as well as file contents. File content integration can be done directly (for XML and text files) or through adaptors, which provide translators for mapping arbitrary file formats onto XML structures.
