In the future, a FEWS client will supply the computational core with XML files that contain all the required data. At the moment, they have proposed a structure that, for us, is far from ideal. Luckily, their proposal can be considered a draft and they are open to suggestions from us. We have to develop an XML structure better suited to our needs.

We do not want to reinvent the wheel, we want the XML structure to represent the data as we have it in the database. Chances are we do not have total freedom here as Bastiaan already sent a proposal for the source database that Deltares will use to generate the XML. It is unknown how strictly the XML is linked to the structure of that source database.
