Remote Telescope Markup Language (RTML)
Abstract
Remote Telescope Markup Language (RTML) is an XML-based document format for the generic description of astronomical observation requests. The latest versions (3.x) constitute a substantial modification of the previous published standard (RTML 2.1), incorporating a highly restructured syntax and many new features necessary in order to permit the use of RTML to organize and operate heterogeneous networks of telescopes with complex instruments and to assist both the users and the servers in the preparation, modification, and execution of remote observing requests.
