Abstract

HomeML is an XML-based format for the exchange and storage of data within smart home environments. It was originally proposed as a means of solving the issues caused by the heterogeneous nature of data recorded within such environments. In our current work we have extended upon the concepts of homeML and have subsequently developed an improved format to support the storage and exchange of sensory data collected from heterogeneous sources both inside and outside of the home environment. We have successfully tested these revisions to homeML by storing datasets generated by 5 research institutions.
