A data exchange language is a language that is domain-independent
and can be used for any kind of data. Its semantic expression
capabilities and qualities are largely determined by comparison
with the capabilities of natural languages. The term is also
applied to any file format that can be read by more than one
program, including proprietary formats such as Microsoft Office
documents. However, a file format is not a real language as it
lacks a grammar and vocabulary. Practice has shown that certain
types of formal languages are better suited for this task than
others, since their specification is driven by a formal process
instead of particular software's implementation needs. For example
XML is a markup language that was designed to enable the creation
of dialects and a popular choice now in particular on the internet.
However, it does not contain domain specific dictionaries or fact
types. Beneficial to a reliable data exchange is the availability
of standard dictionaries-taxonomies and tools libraries such as
parsers, schema validators and transformation tools.
