• Con – because data is verbosely described, larger Con – because data is verbosely described, larger datasets(e.g. model outputs) or binary formats(e.g. datasets(e.g. model outputs) or binary formats(e.g. images) can be poor candidates for pure xml images) can be poor candidates for pure xml adoption. The common solution is to leave these adoption. The common solution is to leave these types of data in their raw formats with use of some types of data in their raw formats with use of some xml to describe the useful metadata(observation xml to describe the useful metadata(observation type, temporal/spatial range,…) of the file.type, temporal/spatial range,…) of the file.
