Another question?

Comparing Raw Data from 5 DNA Testing Companies - Blog comment by vanlaargen - 1 Sep 2018
I’m afraid you’ll probably have to wait a bit longer than 10 weeks. Last week I received some of my results for the WGS from DanteLabs ordered March 3rd of this year.

Louis, a few years back I remember reading about an effort to create an XML based genealogy data tagging standard (I think its called a schema, but not sure). Have you ever heard of this? Any idea what happened to it?

Behold’s Genetic Relationship Notation (BGRN) – Revised - Blog comment by justincyork - 13 Aug 2018
I like it. It's similar to the system fs-traversal uses to construct relationship paths. https://github.com/genealogysystems/fs-traversal

Behold’s Genetic Relationship Notation (BGRN) – Revised - Blog entry by lkessler - 12 Aug 2018
A couple of years ago, I introduced the horrible acronym BGRN to represent a new notation for DNA relationships which I extended to also include non-genetic relationships.
