This page provides a description of the MIT SketchML format. Our old format stored timestamps, and x and y coordinates. When we outgrew this format we created our current XML-based format. This format currently used in the following groups and places:

• MIT Design Rationale Group (http://rationale.csail.mit.edu)
  • ETCHASketches (http://rationale.csail.mit.edu/ETCHASketches/)
• Harvey Mudd (http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~alvarado/research/sketch.html)
• Texas A&M (http://faculty.cs.tamu.edu/hammond/)

Please email us (sketchml at csail.mit.edu) to get added to this list.
