Abstract
The Dynamic Aerospace Vehicle Exchange Markup Language (DAVE-ML) is a text-based file format intended for encoding the principal elements of a flight simulation model for an aerospace vehicle. It is based on two other open standards: the Extensible Markup Language (XML) version 1.1 and the Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) version 2.0, both products of the World Wide Web Consortium. DAVE-ML defines additional grammar (markup elements) to provide a domain-specific language capable of aerospace flight dynamics modeling, verification, and documentation.
This markup language represents the encoding format for BSR/AIAA S-119-201x Flight Dynamic Model Exchange Standard [AIAA11].
This is a draft version of the reference manual for DAVE-ML syntax and
markup. DAVE-ML syntax is specified by the
DAVEfunc.dtd Document Type Definition (DTD) file;
the version number above refers to the version of the DAVEfunc.dtd.
DAVE-ML is an open standard, being developed by an informal team of American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) members. Contact the author above for more information or comments regarding refinement of DAVE-ML.
