> Title: An XML Software Toolkit for Ad-hoc data
>
> Summary:
>
> New data-format standards are typically specified in XML dialects.  
> These XML-based standards are intended to simplify the application  
> logic necessary to exchange, verify and process data.  Existing  
> systems, however, typically generate data in legacy "ad hoc"  
> formats and rarely support newly defined XML standards.
>
> The PADX software toolkit bridges this gap by providing  
> infrastructure for bi-directional mappings between ad hoc
> and XML formats.  To date, PADX supports automatic mapping of ad  
> hoc data into XML and
> querying of ad hoc data using the W3C XQuery query language. Our  
> goal for this summer project is to provide an automatic mapping  
> from arbitrary XML data into compact ad hoc formats.
>
> Candidates should have a strong background in functional  
> programming. Experience with XML processing and general data  
> processing skills are also considered a plus.
>
> Further information on the PADS project can be found at  
> www.padsproj.org.
