Attention.XML is an open standard, built on open source, that helps keep track of what attention metadata, what web users read, spend time on, and should be paying attention to. Attention.XML is an XML file (specifically an XOXO file) that contains an outline of feeds/blogs, where each feed itself is an outline, and each post is also an outline under the feed. This hierarchical outline structure is then annotated with per-feed and per-post information which captures such information as, the last time the feed/post was accessed, the duration of time spent on the feed/post, recent times of feed/post access, user set (dis)approval of posts.

The Open Data Definition (ODD) is an XML based data portability format designed to be simple and flexible. It consists of an XML framework plus an extension format defining the keywords, classes and required items of metadata. ODD takes the view that existing data portability standards are, despite being powerful, much too complex for widespread adoption. The format is made up of a handful of core components with minimal nesting, which allows the support for import/export, syndication and live streaming.
