NewsML is the new XML-based packaging and metadata format for news distribution, approved this fall by the International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC).

The library is a joint project of Reuters PLC, the leading international information services provider, and Wavo, a leading news amalgamator. [See:]

The NewsML Toolkit works with the Document Object Model (DOM) interface developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
