Geometry Description Markup Language (GDML) workpackage is primarly ment to provide geometry data exchange format for the LCG applications. The workpackage consists of the GDML Schema part, which is a fully self-consistent definition of the GDML syntax and the GDML I/O part which provides means for writing out and reading in GDML files.

The GDML Schema does not depend in any way on the GDML I/O packages. In particular, new extensions to the GDML I/O packages can be implemented (interfaces to new application, like for instance visualisation, editors, etc), while the GDML Schema definition remains unchanged.

What's New in This Release:
New solids have been added: twisted box, twisted trap, twisted trd, and twisted tubs.
Support for modularization of the GDML files has been added through tags allowing any GDML file to be included within another.
