Abstract:
In the global strategy for preservation genetic resources of farm animals the implementation of
information technology is of great importance. In this regards platform independent information tools and
approaches for data exchange are needed in order to obtain aggregate values for regions and countries of
spreading a separate breed. The current paper presents a XML based solution for data exchange in management
genetic resources of farm animals’ small populations. There are specific requirements to the exchanged
documents that come from the goal of data analysis. Three main types of documents are distinguished and their
XML formats are discussed. DTD and XML Schema for each type are suggested. Some examples of XML
documents are given also.
