metadata - XML schema/format for representing a generic file format? -


Is there an existing XML schema that can be used to describe common file formats? There is some tag that says "file has a title which is x bytes long", "The first element of the header is a 4 byte unsigned integer, which shows the length of the file", etc. I need a format of this type and wanted to make sure that before I want to come with myself because it can already be out. Unfortunately, my Google searches have not operated me anywhere, but I do not know whether this is because there is nothing or I do not know the correct search terms.

I will consider what has been done for EDI. Their file formats are based on commerce, but what is included in your mind.
