[Opengenalliance] RootsTech 2012: GEDCOM X and historical-data.org

[todd.d.robbins at gmail.com]

I'm not at this year's RootsTech conference in Salt Lake City, Utah, but
have been following the best I can from afar. Two huge
announcements/releases related to genealogical data:


   - http://www.gedcomx.org/
      - GEDCOM X homepage (new genealogical standard by FamilySearch). Not
      sure if it's "open" in the fullest sense, though it claims to be. The
      source is online at GitHub: https://github.com/FamilySearch/gedcomx
      - http://familysearch.github.com/gedcomx/atom.xml
      - Blog feed for GEDCOM X
      - http://historical-data.org/
   - "This site defines a collection of schemas (applied in the form of
      HTML tags) that webmasters can use to markup their historical and
      genealogical information in a consistent way." Built on schema.org,
      Microformats, microdata


More soon,

Tod
