Using XML in the Reporting for Russian Federal Information System

The basics of nuclear materials accounting in Russia were formulated a few years ago. By now, the format used in the reporting may be called as an XML-like format only because its semantics does not correspond to the language standards and there is no description of document structure and tags used. The discrepancy does not allow applying the existent standard XML-parser and program interfaces. In the work present are described the samples of three type of reports based on standard XML realization. The additional level of abstraction provides a strict and flexible formalization of the requirements, compatibility with other applications and minimum changes in future. This article considers only technical problems of the accounting and it does not touch upon the organizational, financial and other aspects of the problem.
