SignalML

SignalML is an XML-based language, designed for metadescription of formats, used for digital storage of biomedical time series. Using SignalML, information on the structure of binary data files can be simply and efficiently coded. Once written, this information can be used by any software, which - owing to this metadescription - can read data files in the original format. This eliminates the need for conversions and duplication of data.

 

SignalML version 1.0 was introduced in [1]. After the 1st INCF Workshop on Time Series Data: Analysis and Management the second version of SignalML - SignalML 2.0 is being designed to address the issues discussed at the workshop.

We provide the following resources for interchange of relevant information and ideas:

• SignalML wiki
• Newsgroup / mailing list

The flagship implementation of SignalML is Svarog: Signal Viewer, Analyzer and Recorder on GPL. Svarog is written in Java. See the project page for more details.
The following files contain the current version of Svarog under it's old name "signalml". The first version of Svarog is currently being cleaned and will be available shortly. It will have very similar functionality.

Platform/format	URL
Microsoft Windows network installer	signalml_installer.exe
Multiplatform network installer (run with Java)	signalml_installer.jar
