It's off topic, but I know smart guys hang out on CLA so I'll ask anyway.
I'm looking for a standard in which XML metadata is used to describe the
structure of binary data.
I want to send packets of binary data across TCP/IP with each packet
preceded by a globally unique identifier (GUID) that identifies
corresponding XML metadata. If the receiver does not already have the
metadata, it can be requested from a server. Otherwise the receiver uses
the metadata to interpret the binary data.
It sounds so simple, someone has probably already done it. Is there a
standard?
I did some searching and came up empty.
TIA,
Steve
