The project is trying to define a new SVG+XML based interchange format for electronic design automation systems. The first final defined specification will contain a file format specification for schematic, layout, footprint and component files. The layout and footprint definitions will use a similar definition as described in IPC-2581 for easy transformation. As production output format we will use the xml based and in IPC-2581 described xml based 258X files. In addition we plan to develop a 258X-to-gerber converter to ensure compatibility with the older gerber formats.
