Re: [xml-dev] What is the best way to approach the structuring of inventory data?

> My inventory includes data such as the count of the number of aircraft 
at each airport, the count of the number aircraft ground refuelers at each 
airport, and so forth.

I did a little more Googling on this.

You might be interested in the following FAA Airport Data & Contact 
Information web page:

http://www.faa.gov/airports/airport_safety/airportdata_5010/

The facilities data dictionary ("for the NFDC Airport Facilities Table"):

http://www.faa.gov/airports/airport_safety/airportdata_5010/nfdcfacilitiesdictionary.cfm

contains fields such as "Number of jet engine general aviation aircraft" 
(but not "Number of aircraft ground refuelers").

I did not find a corresponding XML schema.

If I were developing an XML vocabulary for such data, I'd contact the FAA 
Airport Engineering Division (details on that web page). They might be 
able to point you in the right direction (or maybe you already work for 
them?).

(Yeah, okay, sorry, these comments might be getting too domain-specific 
for xml-dev. Moving on.)
