[dfdl-wg] Hello everybody!

[Susan Malaika]

How about considering the subset of DFDL that is useful for describing 
JPEG metadata  or some other binary format that may be of interest in 
EPCC? You could build some software that uses DFDL annotations as the 
basis for processing JPEG metadata? You could make an assessment of your 
findings in your dissertation and give feedback to the DFDL working group 
.... 

First steps would be to look at JPEG metadata (if that seems suitable) and 
look at the latest DFDL documents posted on the DFDL Website.

Hi Susan,

Thank you very much. Yes, it is a 3 month project with programming and we
have to submit a dissertation with roughly 15,000 words at the end of
August. My supervisor gave me some advices about what to do: implementing
a basic parser for a subset of the DFDL specification using Java, maybe
via SAX and DOM respectively, and then benchmarking different
performances. However, I have not decided which subset of DFDL I should
work on because I have no idea among what I can choose. In addition, I
haven't had a detailed view about what the DFDL can do and how it does it,
I mean the annotation syntax for different problems, although I know it
can define all kinds of data using the combination of the XML schema and
DFDL annotations. Could you give me some advices?

Cheers,
Yi
