This report develops a proposed common framework for exchange of transportation data in eXtensible Markup Language, known as TransXML. This framework can be used for developing, validating, disseminating, and extending current and future schemas. The research team conducted an extensive review of current XML efforts in the transportation sector, identified specific gaps and opportunities, and developed a plan to address the highest priority needs. The team developed a number of pilot schemas and applications, as well as recommendations for tools and platforms that can simplify XML coding for other transportation applications. The report summarizes the benefits that can be achieved by the adoption and expansion of TransXML, and outlines future efforts that will be needed to ensure its success.

The researchers submitted Appendices A through F on a companion CD-ROM that contains a variety of supplemental information and digital data files. The CD-ROM contents are available for downloading at http://trb.org/news/blurb/detail.asp?id=7338.
