Introduction to DGML
Here is what a simple directed graph with three nodes and two links between them looks like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DirectedGraph xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/vs/2009/dgml">
<Nodes>
<Node Id="a" Label="a" Size="10" />
<Node Id="b" Background="#FF008080" Label="b" />
<Node Id="c" Label="c" Start="2010-06-10" />
</Nodes>
<Links>
<Link Source="a" Target="b" />
<Link Source="a" Target="c" />
</Links>
<Properties>
<Property Id="Background" Label="Background" DataType="Brush" />
<Property Id="Label" Label="Label" DataType="String" />
<Property Id="Size" DataType="String" />
<Property Id="Start" DataType="DateTime" />
</Properties>
</DirectedGraph>
which looks like this:
The complete XSD schema for DGML is available at . DGML not only allows describing nodes and links in a graph, but also annotating those nodes and links with any user defined property and/or category.
gollark: There was a government program to fund fibre connectivity, but it doesn't seem to have worked well.
gollark: A lot of developed countries seem to have issues like this because the old stuff technically works and has tons of inertia and regulatory nonsense and nobody cares enough to replace it, but developing ones which didn't have big telephone networks or whatever presumably just installed fibre and did fine.
gollark: The UK isn't very good at infrastructure.
gollark: Yes, I'll just manually lay fibre to the nearest internet exchange.
gollark: Or G.fast occasionally.
