AEDNL

AEDNL (ABSML-based Electronic Design Notebook Language) is being developed by a Working Group consisting of CDR, EIT, KSL, and Lockheed. ABSML stands for A Better Standard Markup Language. A starting point for AEDNL will be Electronic
Project Language (EPL). AEDNL will be a design documentation language that can be used by Lockheed's MECE and similar Design Documentation Environments (DDE).

One feature of the AEDNL will be its ability to link the rich, but informal, design information found in electronic notebooks such as MECE to formal design tools, like Redux. Users will be able to mark their documentation with HTML-style tags that can be understood by structured design tools.
