This is the public forum for discussion of “NewsML-G2”, a news exchange format for general news content and successor of NewsML 1. It is developed by the International Press Telecommunications Council.

NewsML-G2 is one member of the new IPTC family of G2-standards. The G2-standards make use of a common News Architecture (NAR), which is compact, highly modular, easy to understand, specified with two conformance levels: a simple core level and a sophisticated power level, "object oriented" (= easy to map to OO software), Semantic Web compliant, defined by a complete conceptual model plus a detailed technical specification, accompanied by a set of W3C XML schemas. The NAR provides its framework also to EventsML-G2 and SportsML-G2 v 2.0.

This group is open to all who have interest in NewsML-G2 and the NAR.

The activities on this group are hosted and moderated by the IPTC.
