I'm starting up a project where we'll be coordinating schedule, speaker, location, and event information for conferences. It seems like a fairly well-defined space, and so I just assumed that there was a schema or standard out there we could reuse. I can't seem to find one, though.
The benefits would be obvious - to get my app working with your conference information, it'd be great if there were an independent, popular Conference XML standard that I could point you to. Comply with ConfML, say, and you'll work with my app.
Does anyone know of an existing conference XML schema or standard? Or am I really the first to think of it?
