How about considering the subset of
DFDL that is useful for describing JPEG metadata or some other binary
format that may be of interest in EPCC? You could build some software that
uses DFDL annotations as the basis for processing JPEG metadata? You could
make an assessment of your findings in your dissertation and give feedback
to the DFDL working group ....
First steps would be to look at JPEG
metadata (if that seems suitable) and look at the latest DFDL documents
posted on the DFDL Website.

Re: [dfdl-wg] Hello everybody!
Hi Susan,
Thank you very much. Yes, it is a 3 month project
with programming and we
have to submit a dissertation with roughly 15,000 words at the end of
August. My supervisor gave me some advices about what to do: implementing
a basic parser for a subset of the DFDL specification using Java, maybe
via SAX and DOM respectively, and then benchmarking different
performances. However, I have not decided which subset of DFDL I should
work on because I have no idea among what I can choose. In addition, I
haven't had a detailed view about what the DFDL can do and how it does
it,
I mean the annotation syntax for different problems, although I know it
can define all kinds of data using the combination of the XML schema and
DFDL annotations. Could you give me some advices?
Cheers,
Yi
