An XML file format and a database for measurement data storage
Jean-Pierre Teyssier, Fabien de Groote · 2006
Based on the standard and free XML format, a new file format is proposed for measurement data. An XML scheme dedicated to RF measurements is established, it ensures small and structured files with a strong grammatical check and the relevant semantic information embedded. The open structure of XML offers an easy upgrade of the file structure to any new type of measurement. In order to handle very large quantities of measurement data, a database structure is designed, this database stores exactly the same information fields as the XML file structure, so the total cross-interoperability between both storage methods allows efficient data management.
