1.1 What is RESQML?

RESQML is an XML- and HDF5-based data-exchange standard that facilitates reliable, automated exchange of data among software packages used in subsurface workflows. RESQML consists of a set of XML schemas (XSD files) and other standards-based technology, which developers implement into software packages. Software that has implemented RESQML can read and write the standard format.

RESQML has been developed by a global consortium of operators, service companies, software vendors, and government agencies under the umbrella of Energistics.
