Title: XML for Detector Description at GLAST

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/799049· OSTI ID:799049

The problem of representing a detector in a form which is accessible to a variety of applications, allows retrieval of information in ways which are natural to those applications, and is maintainable has been vexing physicists for some time. Although invented to address an entirely different problem domain, the document markup meta-language XML is well-suited to detector description. This paper describes its use for a GLAST detector.
