The XML file formats

The XML data format is used for nearly all files the Nimue Platforms saves in the file system. All the other file formats are used mainly in form of input/export filters to integrate third party software.

For different purposes different XML data format structures are defined by XML schema or Document Type Definitions (DTDs).

Document types

labelset markerset	A file which contains a set of labels/variables, e.g. markers in the case of a marker based motion analysis. For Vicon users this is the equivalent to Vicons .mkr-File. But it is more flexible and it is not used to define Autolabeling. It is also used define the output of a processing step, if more variables ar calculated than you want to save.	labelset.dtd markerset.dtd
