BioXSD is a data model defining exchange formats for basic bioinformatics types of data: sequences, alignments, feature records with associated data and metadata. BioXSD aims to serve as a common, canonical tree-structured format (XML, JSON, YAML, binary) for the basic bioinformatics data. Specialised standard XML-schema formats such as for example SBML, MAGE-ML, GCDML, PDBML, PSI MI MIF, PhyloXML or NeXML are orthogonal efforts and should be used wherever applicable. BioXSD aims at filling the gap between these specialised XML formats.
