esml-updates Mailing List for The Earth Science Markup Language

Hi
 
I'm interested in describing a binary file from fish tags and I was very
happy when I found ESML. One thing I'm not sure about is how up-to-date
ESML is. The last update on the site goes back to 2006 and I'm unsure 
if the project is still "alive", means if people are really using it, or
if most people
moved to another solution!?
 
The reason why I'm asking is because I just saw recently that another
big project (http://sweet.jpl.nasa.gov/ontology/ ) adopted ESML
in one of their foundation ontologies.
 
 
Unfortunately I couldn't access the CVS to download the sources and
get started with the examples and C++. Python didn't work for me either,
the file python23.dll was missing on my machine, even after the
installation
of the latest python version.
 
Any support in this respect would be great!
 
Thanks in advance
 
Patrick
