[sword-devel] Preferred XML Schema

[n8]

I am not directly involved with the Sword project, but I thought I could
pick up some wisdom from you guys.  I am working on web based scripture
project, and am using XML for communication of scripture (and other
data) between flash front end and php/mysql.  Rather than invent my own
way to do this, I would like to follow some other already created
schema.  I noticed THML, XSEM, and OSIS.  How do these compare?  What is
the reason you prefer and are choosing OSIS?

Thanks,
-=nathan

Use XML, preferrably OSIS.  When OSIS 1.1 is completed, we will begin 
moving all materials over to this format.

You can find information about OSIS at:
